Clarity?
Instead of referencing a 1992 article, why not share the mathematics producing the index? What is the formula?
another perspective on your diversity methodology
Maybe "white" needs to be capitalized too?
Maybe your scale could be upgraded to reflect degree as well as spread among minority students. For example, College X had an undergraduate population that is 20% non-White. This group consists of .35 African-Americans and .75 Hispanics.
Maybe data on the % of men and women within each visible minority group would be helpful?
Maybe invisible minorities also bear mentioning? For example, international students, veterans, LGBTs?
