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.

“It was Drake 
from Drake and

kind of weird. 
And he was a
