What is happening to underrepresented minority enrollment at U-M under Proposal 2?
The University continues to do everything in its power, within the law, to build a community that is broadly diverse, including racial and ethnic diversity. While we have seen some declines in minority enrollment following passage of Proposal 2, we have worked hard, and thus far successfully, to avoid the sharp declines seen in California’s top public universities following passage of that state’s Proposition 209. And we are cautiously optimistic about current data, which suggest the potential for positive future trends in minority enrollment. Our greatest assets in this effort are faculty, administration and staff, current students, alumni, and community members, all of whom play an important role in encouraging minority students to apply to U-M, and to enroll here if admitted.
