University of New Hampshire Plans to Improve Diversity
DURHAM, N.H.
The University of New Hampshire wants to add some diversity to its student body. With a student population that’s 95 percent White, the school recently ranked 11th in a Princeton Review college guide that measured student body homogeneity nationwide.
Saint Anselm College in Manchester ranked No. 5.
This year, UNH officials say they’ve adopted a plan to bring more Black, Hispanic and American Indian students and teachers to the campus over the next five years.
“We’re being proactive,” said Wanda Mitchell, the vice provost for diversity. “We’re not saying ‘We’re New Hampshire and this is the way it is.'”
