Description

This article published in The Collegian describes the University of Richmond's efforts to increase student diversity. According to the article, the administration led by President Edward Ayers (2007-2015) took on initiatives to enroll more ethnic minorities to the school.

Second, recruit and retain faculty, staff and senior management of underrepresented groups. Third, recruit, retain, and graduate a diverse student population. The article goes on to describe the university's initial success, describing a student body hailing from 40 states, 20 countries, and a student of color increase from 13 percent to 23 percent the total student population. The article continues highlighting the shifting culture for the remaining portions of the article.
