[quote=Anonymous]I know that everyone is discussing whether it is valid for students to claim Hispanic on thier applications as way to be considered an URM and receive and edge in admission. My question is whether the point of identifying Hispanic heritage is in part because it is fed into diversity considerations/statistics that have nothing to do with economic/opportunity diversity. If the student in fact has the heritage and that is a reflection of diversity why shouldn’t the student include it? Saying you are Hispanic is not the same as saying you grew up with limited resources. I say this as a parent of children with absolutely no URM racial history. I think racial and cultural diversity is important to an educational community. [/quote]
