Article on University of Michigan recognizes Pacific Islander underrepresentation

In an article published this week on enrollment at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders were recognized as one of several minority groups that are underrepresented in higher education. Here's the paragraph, from the article in AnnArbor.com:

Underrepresented minorities make up 10 percent of the freshmen class, a 0.5 percent decrease from 2011 and a 0.6 percent decrease from 2010. 
Overall, there are 2,207 blacks, 1,785 latinos, 442 Native Americans and 81 Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders enrolled.

Here are links to a few posts we've written on a few of the other universities that recognize Pacific Islander underrepresentation:
