Yes, @NuScholar, so it’s an opp for academic POCs to attend a good school. Seems to me that TU is trying to increase its diversity, as is Davidson and a few other schools that are behind their peers. That’s why it is an opportunity for Asians and other people of color. (It’s already geographically diverse and gender diverse.) Tulane is on the right path to raise its overall diversity and profile. (And note that all the UC’s are extremely diverse because they’re state unis in one of the most diverse states in the country.)
Tulane has a ways to go, but if in the next ten years it increases the diversity of the student body to the level of Duke or Emory, creates a community that reflects the vibrant city its in and diversity of the country (and world), it’ll be a stronger and more vibrant academic institution. I believe that’s why they have their eye on the diversity ball.
