How do we make sure that in future years “we are not as white as we are today?”

In a continuing effort to improve Western Washington University’s adherence to its mission, university officials are soliciting feedback on six specific questions raised by President Bruce Shepard during his 2013 convocation speech.

...
“In Washington, where we draw 90 percent of our students, high school graduation numbers have recently declined. They are projected to now remain flat. Those flat lines mask a shift: the strata of high school grads from which we have traditionally drawn our students are shrinking; they are being replaced by those coming from different socioeconomic strata. How do we respond?”

That response, Shepard said, begins with the Western community and its answers to six critical questions:

What should be our responses to the changing demography of Washington high school graduates?
What can we at WWU do to address issues of affordable access to a quality education?
How do we make sure that in future years “we are not as white as we are today?”
What should our approach be to meeting educational needs off our campus?
How is WWU going to play in a future where leading universities, of necessity, are globally engaged universities?
What, in the years ahead, are to be the roles of the liberal arts and sciences at WWU?
