We just returned from Tulane and attended Destination Tulane on Saturday, 3/16. I will admit that I was surprised at the lack of diversity on campus. I didn’t notice it on our first visit, but school was not in session back in June. My son, who is black, wasn’t bothered by it but did take note. He fell in love with Tulane and made some new friends and is itching to commit. The % of black students is equivalent to his current boarding school and also to Dartmouth, which he is still waiting to hear from. Like he has at his High School, he will seek out friends he is comfortable with and join diverse organizations.

I will say that I was a bit disappointed at the lack of diversity in the tour guides selected for Destination Tulane as well as the student panel discussion. I gave that feedback when filling out the comment card.
