@Specific Actions Regarding the Diversity of the Student Body <br>

▪ Increase the number of U.S. students of color who graduate to 15 percent within six years. ▪ Initiate a partner-program with a number of high schools whose populations are more diverse than ours and offer matriculation to their top students ▪ Employ a full-time Admissions Officer who resides in specific recruiting areas where we have not had much of a presence (West, South, Southwest) ▪ Attend special College fairs at high schools targeting students from underrepresented groups including gay, lesbian, bisexual students ▪ Heighten capacity with which Admissions Office is able to recruit students from underrepresented groups ▪ Continue and expand student surveys in collaboration with Institutional Research (for example add 10 questions related to diversity to our survey of First-Year students and seniors) ▪ Introduce a diversity element into our first-year student orientation ▪ Maintain our efforts regarding the ADA population on campus and work toward the principle of "universal access" on campus

<p>Obviously this is only one school, but it does seem that LGBT students are in demand at some schools. However, I don't think Brown has a shortage of such applicants, most of them academically qualified.</p>
