Hold up, is this saying that literally over half of the graduate students are Jewish?? Am I reading this right?
- nhchris 4y agoIf one filter (not enrolled->enrolled) brings them from 2% to 10%*, it's not beyond possibility that another filter (graduate->undergraduate) would bring another 5x increase. But I'd guess 53% is probably at least a slight over-estimation, and the numbers may not be entirely reliable. Perhaps we should ask for the diversity statistics to count Jewish numbers separately so we could have official numbers, but I suspect that might encounter some resistance :) *For 2015, the Jerusalem Post actually estimates Jews at 25% of undergraduates, but that may be relying on some since-corrected overestimation by Hillel.
