Enrollment is about 70 percent in-state, 30 percent out-of-state, and comes from 48 states and 109 countries. I want to see someone name 109 countries. With their eyes closed and hands tied behind their backs. No cheating! Honor code!
The undergraduate student body is 55 percent female. (Cue up the whip-crack sound effect.)
The student body is about 25 percent minority, and the first year class is a third minority. Ahh. And now I’d like to have a moment on my soapbox. You know, there’s no way Jesus could have been “Caucasian.” And in the future, everyone will be a once-minority. I find this comforting, knowing haters are at the bottom of the intellectual evolutionary tract. Off the soapbox.
Of the University’s total budgetary needs, 9 percent comes from the state. I believe this is a 1 percent increase, but it still sounds like not much. Someone, please elaborate.

Wait, so affirmative action is less about providing opportunity, and more about sticking it to the Man?
