M cnday, June 4, 2007 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com i7 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. the michigan daily FALL 2007.
