Enrollment Management

Implement Plans to Avoid Bias in Admissions 

Continue to review the admissions and scholarship processes to identify areas that negatively impact access. Extend undergraduate test optional admissions for another year and evaluate the option of becoming test optional/blind permanently.  

Develop a Strategic Enrollment Management DE&I Plan 

Under the direction of the V.P. for Enrollment Management, establish a committee with representation from every office in the division. The committee will be charged with the development of a long-term DE&I strategic plan for the division. 

Develop Plans to Avoid Bias in Admissions

Enrollment Management will develop specific plans in the summer and fall to continue progress in ensuring that there is no systemic bias in our admissions and scholarship processes. We will reduce the emphasis of standardized test results in these processes and expand the diversity of the application pool.

Update: For fall 2021 undergraduate admission, Enrollment Management transformed the academic evaluation process to minimize the impact of test scores for both admission and scholarship consideration. Following the application deadline, the number of applications from students who identify as Black or Hispanic grew by 21% compared to the previous fall.
