Just the Stats: The Hard Facts on Texas’ Public Universities

by Olivia Pullmann-Majesky , October 13, 2006

In 1996, Black students represented 4 percent of UT-Austin’s 48,008 student body. Today, they comprise 3.9 percent. So, they’re not quite at pre-Hopwood levels.

But even reaching pre-Hopwood levels is nothing to brag about. According the 2005 American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, Blacks, including those  mixed with other races, account for 11.5 percent of the Texas population. University enrollment should be representative of the statewide population. So I can’t wait to read the news story that says UT-Austin’s Black enrollment is 11.5 percent.
