[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is part of the point — uva for a public school does not do much to advance economic status of their grads. From the nyt report a few years ago:

UCLA—https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobility/university-of-california-los-angeles

UVA — https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobility/university-of-virginia

More students from the top 20%, among the lowest in economic advancement of their grads (because their grads are already privileged).

Also, for the booster saying that 35% of uva is students of color — here are the diversity breakdowns: http://diversitydata.virginia.edu/ [b]For a state that is almost 20% black, having so few (6%) black students is an embarrassment. [/b]

It would make a difference if you know how many of those black people were high school students. You can’t just say a University needs to reflect the demographics of the state exactly. You need to look at the high school population and then the segment within that group that is college-bound. [/quote]
