NYU student group demands 20 percent black enrollment despite Supreme Court ruling
New York University’s (NYU) chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is demanding that the school raise Black student enrollment to 20 percent within five years and hire more Black faculty.
Students rallied in Washington Square Park, urging NYU to boost Black enrollment, after a 2023 Supreme Court ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard addressed race-conscious admissions policies.
Organizers point to a post stating that Black students make up 3.4 percent of the class of 2029, down 20 percent relative to the 4.2 percent from the class of 2028. New York City’s Black population, by comparison, was 20.2 percent in the 2020 census.
The campaign began with an Oct. 2 Instagram post from SDS stating that “Education is a Right[,] Not Just For The Rich and White.” The post lists four demands, including that NYU “Release detailed admissions and enrollment demographic data,” “Create a designated space for Black students within a year,” and “Increase Black enrollment to 20 percent within 5 years.”
SDS said in a separate post that “NYU continues to fail its Black student body” and that it plans to host a “Black Townhall” on Oct. 22.
One speaker at the rally said: “I started by asking, ‘Do I really belong here?’ Today, I think NYU has to answer a different question. What is this university willing to do to make sure Black students know that we belong?”
