Recruitment: More students indicating their ethnicities

Minority students
KU struggles with recruiting and retaining students of color, while the number of incoming minority freshman hovers around 10 percent.
The OIRP report also indicated a steady decline in the retention of African-American students, as the number of African-American students on campus has fallen by between 2 percent and 3 percent this year and last year. The University counted 119 African-American freshmen this fall, compared to 108 last fall and 121 in 1999.

The number of students who report their ethnicity increased on the Lawrence campus.
Thirty incoming students did not indicate their ethnicity, in comparison to 112 unclassified freshmen in 2000.
Eulalio Munoz, Topeka senior and community service chair for the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said that the increase in the enrollment of minority freshmen was a good sign.
"It shows the University's increasing desire to diversify the University" Munoz said.
Selicia Mitchell, Topeka junior and president of the First Nations Student Association, a campus organization that offers services to Native-American students, said that the increase of one Native-American freshman this year — for a total of 39 — was little cause for excitement.
"With just one addi
tional student, there's nothing to get thrilled about," Mitchell said, although she added that any increase in Native-American enrollment was positive.
"Minority retention issues are still something that needs our
attention."
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, was out of town yesterday and unavailable for comment.
