Information System that provide data
on the ethnic background of students.
The study found that:
...Hawaiians and Filipinos
are...underrepresented in the
applicant pool as well as the
student population close to or
above their proportional
representation in the applicant
pool. The only ethnic group
significantly below the applicant
pool prediction is Caucasian, and
this is likely due to the fact that
the majority of mainland applicants
are Caucasians, and non-resident
applicants are significantly less
likely than residents to actually
enroll. The important aspect of
this comparison, however, is that
it does not show any evidence of
discrimination or bias against
Hawaiians or Filipinos in the
admissions process. These ethnic
groups are underrepresented in the
student population primarily
because a smaller proportion of
their members apply for admission
than is the case for other groups.
The root causes of this must be
sought in social conditions and
individual attitudes that are
operative prior to the potential
college experience...significant
gains in representation can only be
expected if potential students are
reached in their pre-college years
(page 2, emphasis in original).
