Clemson Looking for Diversity
Posted on May 26th, 2008
Twenty-nine percent of South Carolina's population is African-American, but only seven percent of the student body at Clemson is Black. So Clemson is looking for a way to increase the diversity of its student body, according to Greenville Online.
On July 14 Clemson will have its first chief diversity officer. That's when Leon E. Wiles starts his job in that post.
According to Greenville Online, "Wiles' agenda at Clemson is to increase the number of black and other minority students and employees on the campus and enhance support resources for those of different backgrounds and experiences."
The overall minority population at Clemson is 22% of the student body at the moment.
