NUMBERS
From page 1
months before Proposal 2 passed,
an increase of about 85 percent
from the 270 it accepted at the same
time last year.
Chris Lucier, the University's
director of recruitment and opera-
tions,said that this figure could like-
ly be attributed to a more aggressive
recruiting approach rather than
priority given to applications from
minority students in anticipation of
the passage of Proposal 2.
"Wedidhaveanumberofrecruit-
ment events this year where we
encouraged minority applicants to
apply and apply early," Lucier said.
The numbers indicate that the
loss of the advantage granted by
affirmative action brought the ratio
of minority applicants accepted to a
level almost on par with non-minor-
ity applicants.
Twelve percent more minority
applicants were accepted than non-
minority applicants in 2006, while
in the final 2007 admissions num-
bers the gap closed to put minority
acceptance at about 1 percentage
point less than non-minority accep-
tance.
Lucier said this year's data do
not entirely reveal the impact of the
affirmative action ban on admis-
sions because two processes were
used during the cycle.
"I believe that there was an
impact," he said. "ButI can't assess
the magnitude of the impact. Part
of the decrease of 7.4 (percent) was
attributed to Prop 2."
But although the University was
forced torejectsome minority appli-
cants who may have been admitted
with affirmative action, more of
those admitted accepted admission
offers from the University.
Four percent more admitted
minority applicants put down a
depositcthis year to confirm plans to
attend than did last year. Accepted
minority applicants paid depos-
its two percent more often than
accepted applicants as a whole.
The numbers ease administra-
tors' concern thatminority students
would be deterred from attending
the University because of the per-
ception that its campus was not
welcoming to minorities after the
passage of Proposal 2.
Lucier said he thought the higher
numbers can be attributed to the
University's outreach programs as
well as the overall increased inter-
est in the University from students
applyingto college.
"It shows the efforts made in the
aftermath of Prop 2 to talk to stu-
dents about the opportunities the
University of Michigan provides
were successful," he said.
