Brown Unveils Diversity Recruiting Strategy

Brown University is launching a new initiative to improve student diversity, focusing on expanded recruitment and financial aid strategies to combat the effects of the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling striking down affirmative action. According to the plan, announced Wednesday, the admissions office will create five new regional recruitment positions, which will expand outreach to new regions and work with local high schools and community-based organizations to encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. It will also improve financial aid award matching and grow Brown’s partnership with QuestBridge, a nonprofit that helps low-income students gain admission to highly selective colleges.
