#14 in diversity but #1 on the minds of the bama fanbase.

Auburn has a similar situation with Tuskegee just 25 miles away. Tuskegee is a Land Grant College like Auburn so they have similar majors.

I'll start caring about diversity when the SWAC conference and black colleges start caring

No surprise UT’s leading the way in diversity because of our Asian/Hispanic population.

One of you UTA guys can correct me if I’m wrong but a buddy of mine lives in Dallas and told me UTA has a rule for admission that an applicant must finish at least in the top 10% of graduating class.
This means that a student at a prestigious private school with a 1400 SAT and a 3.8 gpa who finishes outside of top 10% of class would not be eligible for admission, but a student graduating from a poorly rated inner city school with a 900 SAT and a 3.0 gpa who finishes in top 10% of class would be eligible for admission.
This is the rule that helps UTA be more diverse. It’s also the rule that denied my friend’s daughter (white) with such private school credentials from being admitted to UTA. She ended up going to Notre Dame, so she’s fine…..but that rule is one of the reasons UTA is so diverse.

Between the vet school and astronauts. Auburn will be raising cows on the moon soon.

That rule is true for both Texas and A&M. I think Texas is even more restrictive now

Auburn is the least diverse of any school in P5.

Texas tried to restrict admission to the top 5%, but the Legislature balked and reduced it from !0% to 7%. This was done when affirmative action was curtailed.

you mean all of the white, upper-class kids from Mountain Brook
Tell us you can't afford to live in Mountain Brook without saying it. Do better in life.

Tuskegee University is right down the road and most of there students live in Auburn. Can we claim them to boost our numbers up?

The 10% and 7% rules are auto-admit standards. That just means those two schools MUST admit Texas high school applicants from the top echelon of their respective schools.
Lots of students get admitted from outside the top 7% or 10%, but it IS a stupid rule that many people dislike.
