<p>I mistated a fact. </p>
<p>Swarthmore’s accepted class for 2010 is 52% non-white US citizens. I have not seen a hard stat on international acceptances, but it is typically another 5% to 7% on top of that.</p>
<p>I’ll let the Princeton folk debate Hargadon’s record there. It is very clear that his departure from Swarthmore following “The Crisis” of 1969 coincided with a sea change in minority admissions and recruitment at the school that produced rapid gains over the following 10 years and played a signficant role in shaping the nature of Swarthmore today, in terms of the student body, the faculty, the support structures, and the campus climate.</p>
