Purdue Report Notes University’s Lack of Diversity: WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University needs to become more affordable and create additional programs to retain students to improve its campus diversity, the school's vice provost for diversity and inclusion says in a report.Purdue is able to attract top minority students but lags behind other Big Ten institutions and other peer schools in the number of those students that it enrolls, the report by Vice Provost Christine Taylor also says.
“At the end of the day, at the end of that four-year degree, we have to ask ourselves, have we done the most that we can to prepare every student at Purdue to be successful,” Taylor said. “In an increasing global and competitive environment, we know that diversity helps students do that.”
