Question: What should Lehigh do to increase diversity on campus?
Latest on Sat, 09:59 pm
Bruce: Do you think Jessica that Lehigh should reject someone from NJ to admit someone with lesser qualifications from Texas?
anon: Exactly what I was about to say, Bruce.
The solution would be to recruit from a more diverse area. Most people who aren't from PA, NJ, NY have no idea what Lehigh is much less its academic credentials.
Michael Caffrey: anon: most people clearly know what Lehigh is... one of the pre-eminent wrestling schools in the country!
Bruce: Good point about Lehigh Wrestling tradition and the only Top 10 program at Lehigh across the spectrum of athletics or academic disciplines.
Joe: Expand the graduate programs in leading fields.
Kevin: They should require less stringent qualifications for black/hispanic applicants
