[quote=Anonymous][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]

[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][/b]

Correct. And the class of 2022 is 34% of color. "In terms of applicant diversity, Katsouleas said the Class of 2022 was the most diverse ever with 34 percent of enrolled applicants being students of color, including 349 African American or multiracial students" http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2018/06/class...presented-to-board-of-visitors [/quote]
