In the September issue of Black Enterprise magazine, the University of Virginia received national recognition for being one of the “50 Top Colleges for African Americans” (number 35, specifically). This latest ranking caps an applause-worthy month for UVA, which made headlines when it nabbed slot number 24 in the U.S. News & World Report list of top public and private universities, and was named one of Newsweek’s “25 New Ivies.”
In comparison, Stanford University and Duke University ranked at 7 and 12 in the Black Enterprise list, respectively. Stanford ranked fourth in the U.S. News “New Ivies” list, while Duke ranked eighth.
But when it comes to faculty diversity, meaning women and ethnic minorities, how do the faculties of list-topping schools compare with one another?
When it comes to gender, UVA meets Stanford stride-for-stride, with Duke lagging slightly behind. However, Duke leads the other two schools in ethnic diversity by more than 4 percentage points. Let the numbers do the talking.
