The University of Oregon stu­
dent body this year will be larger and
more diverse than last year, accord­
ing to preliminary fall enrollment
figures released by admissions di­
rector Jim Buch.
“Total enrollment is projected
to reach between 16,800 and 16,900
students, compared to 16,593 last
year, said Buch.
The new mix of students will
also be more racially diverse than
those in recent years.
“Students of color have in­
creased from 11.7 percent of the stu­
dent body last year to just over 12
percent this year,” Buch said. The
trend reflects the university’s efforts
to recruit more students of color to
the campus.
The fall counts indicate a change
in the composition of the freshman
class as well.
“The number of freshmen from
Oregon has gone up,” said Buch.
“Our freshman class looks as if it will
have more than 100 more residents
students than last year, 1,957 versus
1,849.”
At the same time, the number of
out-of-state freshmen has dropped
by an equal amount, resulting in a
freshmen class in which nearly 55
percent of the students are from Or­
egon. This is a shift from recent trends
toward more out-of-state freshmen,
Buch said, which highlights a com­
mitment to accepting all qualified
Oregon students.
