Saw some undergrads playing
Magic on campus...
I wanted to tell them that I played
a lot when Fourth Edition came
out, but realized that was like to
decades ago, so instead I just
crumbled to dust in front of them.

WOLVE RINE OF THE WE E K
Black enrollment at the
University is less than half
the national average of 9.8
percent. The study includes
data on every four-year,
non-specialized,
public
postsecondary institution
in the nation, and F grades
represent
the
bottom
quintile of equity scores.
The
University’s
Ann
Arbor campus received an
overall score of 2.5 out of
4, which was the highest of
any university or college in
the state. Across all states,
however, Michigan had the
fifth lowest equity index in
the nation.
The
“50-state
report
card”
measured
racial
equity for Black students
across
all
public
universities
in
the
United States using four
indicators: the difference
between the Black student
population
and
the
proportion of college-age
Black people in the state,
the gender makeup of Black
students versus the gender
makeup
of
the
student
body as a whole, the 6-year
graduation rates for Black
students versus those for
all students and the ratio
of Black students to Black
professors.
Despite recent measures
dedicated
to
lowering
economic
barriers
of
attendance including the
Go Blue Guarantee, HAIL
Scholarsand
Wolverine
Pathways, Black student
enrollment at the University
has hovered near 4 percent
in the last half decade. Last
year’s enrollment report
showed the class of 2022
slightly decreased in Black
representation.
In gender equity, the
University
received
an A grade. The Black
student population at the
University is 58.8 percent
women and 41.2 percent
men, while nationally
the percentages are 52
and 48, respectively.
In a 2016 interview,
University
President
Mark
Schlissel
said
he did not foresee any
immediate
large-scale
changes in racial and
socioeconomic diversity
due
to
the
recent
program rollouts.
“There won’t be as
big a leap this year as
there was last year,” he
said after the release
of the 2016 enrollment
report. “It’s the kind of
thing that will continue
to bounce up and down
year by year, but it’s
important the overall
trajectory is upward.”
The University also
received an A grade
in the ratio of Black
students
to
Black
faculty, which was 7
to 1. However, Black
faculty are still more
underrepresented
than
Black
students,
constituting
only
2.6
percent of the University’s
7,022 full-time faculty.
Under-enrollment
has
been
a
long-standing
point of contention for the
Black campus community.
Campus groups like the
Black
Student
Union
have
proposed
various
steps for the University
to
take
toward
racial
equity
since
the
Black
Action Movements of the
1970s. Historic measures
include
increasing
housing affordability and
admissions policies similar
to the state of Texas’s “top
10 percent rule,” which
guarantees admission to
all state universities for
students
who
graduate
in the top 10 percent of
their high school class.
After a statewide ban on
affirmative action in 2006,
minority enrollment at the
University has failed to
rebound.
History
professor
Matthew
Countryman
estimated that the ban
on
affirmative
action
discluded
approximately
860
African
Americans,
133 Latino/as and 56 Native
Americans from admission
to the University in the
years 2007 to 2016.
The
USC
study
does
not include measures of
campus
climate,
but
a
sample University survey
reported
Black
and
Hispanic
students
are
more likely to experience
discrimination on campus
at rates 519 and 132 percent
higher than white students,
respectively.
