Brown To Self-Identify As Diverse

How do you solve the problem of not enough “diversity” among your graduate students?

Let your applicants define how diverse they are for you.

Brown University is making progress toward its goal of doubling representation from what it calls “Historically Underrepresented Groups.” But it’s got a long way to go. So what to do?

Well, finding them, contacting them, begging them to apply, throwing money at them, and ditching your academic standards to let them in all take time.

So why not let them self-identify?

Or can you at least identify that way?

In less time than it takes to say “Elizabeth Warren”: you’re in!
