Wouldn't you want to look at the percentage of black people that apply to the college(who may or may not be from out of state), instead of just looking at the percentage of state residents?
If only 5% of applications to UNC-CH are black, then having 7.8% enrollment is actually good. If 22% of applicants are black, then that is not very good.
- everdev 7y agoThere's a lot more to factor in too like the GPA / SATs of the applicants. You don't want to just mirror the entire population regardless of qualifications. You want to increase outreach to underrepresented groups and adjust for biases but then once you have your applicant pool you probably want your selections to mirror the diversity of the applicant pool rather than the state as a whole.
