[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would have gotten huge merit at Alabama,  but crossed it off the list due to lack of diversity. We are a full pay POC family. [/quote]

The University of Alabama's percentage of black students is roughly 12%. That is 1% below the population of the US, as a whole.

If you are black and would prefer a majority black university, that's fine. However,  it doesn't mean Alabama "lacks in diversity."[/quote]

This. Plus, the PP saying a school over 40% white is a problem. The US is majority white, but they want their college to be something different? Bizarre.[/quote]

Overall the college students in the US is ~40% white.  Now all the sudden a school is 60% white, that's not national average.  A lot of maga kids dont' go to college.  With trump promoting trade schools, the decline of the number of white college students will only continue. [/quote]

Correct.

"White students, however, continue to account for the largest group of college students, making up about 40% of the total undergraduate population."

60% white colleges definitely are very behind in diversity.  [/quote]

Sounds like they are another minority group.[/quote]

Correct.  It's white affirmative action to get it up to 60% white.[/quote]

Can you prove they are “getting it up” to a certain percentage/[/quote]
