| If vossron's definition of "racially diverse" is agreeable to Bay, then my contention will be that a college can, and many colleges will, have a racially diverse group of enrolled students each year even if the college does not gather ethnicity information as part of the admission process.
If Bay has a different definition, I will respond to that in turn. I don't see any strict necessity for colleges to gather ethnic information from applicants to bring about what I agree is a desirable goal, a college enrolling all the various ethnicities in the country (if the college has a national draw) or in the state (if the college has a statewide draw). As this thread percolates, I'll tell a story about an experience I had with a teacher who was a freedom rider about how underrepresented minorities can be well served by a system of not asking about ethnic affiliations. |
