SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The University of Utah's minority population is slightly up from last year. This despite a recent report saying those enrollment numbers are down.
The error was fixed and reported to the university's academic senate yesterday. Although Diversity Committee chairman Edward Trujillo says the increase still does NOT change the percentages of black and minority students that much. He says there's still low numbers, no matter how you look at it.
Trujillo says the original report says more than 23-hundred minority students were enrolled. However, he says 27-hundred students is more accurate.
Yesterday's report also included updated 2005 numbers, which shows more than 28-hundred minority students had enrolled at the U. for the fall semester.
