- As of 4/13/2003, CHEP has 2049 undergraduate applicants, 198 were accepted
for admission, 750 were denied admission. At the
same time in 2002, 1664 applicants, 207 were accepted for admission, 392 were
denied.
Last year,
there was a higher ratio of acceptance (25% vs. 30%).
Old Business:
Students of color in CHEP – Mark Fleming spoke
on recruiting and retaining students of color
- There are differences within UD among the black student population -
not a homogenous group.
- Term “students of color” may not necessarily be appropriate
because students need to be identified based on ethnic heritage and
cultural context.
- African American students have unique needs - need to be addressed
in context of a predominantly white campus
Comments from Dean and council
members
- Need to follow-up in Fall on Aspire, Urban League, and other initiatives
- Need to recruit downstate.
- Mark Fleming should conduct a seminar to
faculty regarding students of color.
- Latino students should be included
in this effort.
