Regarding Diversity at Colby. Of the USA residents/citizens, 67% are White, 9% are Asian, 9% are Hispanic, 6% are Black, 6% are “mixed”, and 3% didn’t say. fewer than 1% are Native American, Hawaiian, or Alaskan. There are also 10% international students. So, while it is not close to representing the general population, it is more diverse than many other “elite” LACs.
In 2016, 69% of its USA residents were White, fewer than 1% were Asian, 7% Hispanic, 3% Black, 6% “mixed”, and fewer than 1% were Native American, Hawaiian, or Alaskan. There were 11% international students.
So they improved substantially since 2016, but have a way to go.
It is also a big improvement from 2001, when 91% of USA residents/citizens who attended Colby were White, 4% were Asian, 2% were Hispanic, 2% were Black, less than 1% are Native American, Hawaiian, or Alaskan. Only 5% of the students were international. Colby didn’t report mixed race then and everybody provided this information.
