Brown University Outlines Initiatives To Sustain Diverse Student Body

Brown University has unveiled a plan with a focus on matriculation, recruitment and retention of a diverse community of students.

Study in US: Brown University is all set to launch admission recruitment initiatives aimed towards sustaining the diverse community of student bodies in the university. The university wants students and their families from diverse backgrounds to choose Brown for higher studies.

The initiatives were unveiled yesterday to the Brown community. Interim Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity Patricia Poitevien and University Provost Francis J. Doyle III detailed the initiatives to the community.

“In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that greatly limited any consideration of race in admission decisions, Brown remains committed to complying with the law while fostering a diverse and inclusive community as integral to our mission of academic excellence. With a focus on recruitment, matriculation and retention of a diverse community of students, the University has developed a set of concrete actions focused on ensuring a robust pool of highly qualified diverse students apply to Brown and, once admitted, have access to the resources they need to enroll,” they wrote.

They said that every year they will evaluate their efforts on how it is going.

“Year over year, we will evaluate our efforts to determine how the entire admission pipeline — including recruitment, selection and yield — results in the enrollment of students who can make the strongest contribution to Brown's academic mission by fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion. We are committed to ensuring that prospective students and their families, as well as those who support them, feel confident in Brown’s commitment to providing a diverse and inclusive environment that is welcoming to students from all backgrounds,” they said.

“As we build support from generous donors, we aim to sustain the pipeline of applicants to Brown from historically underrepresented student populations; increase awareness of Brown’s holistic, individualized, mission-driven admissions process among students, families and guidance counselors; and increase Brown’s yield of admitted students from a diverse range of backgrounds. This will be a years-long effort as the University and other institutions continue to contend with an evolving admissions environment nationwide,” they added.
