Is 1/3 of 8%, considered diversity?

Diversity means more than just blacks and whites. If a campus was half white and half black, I would say that that is NOT diverse. Asians, Hispanics, international students contribute a lot to diversity, too. But really I was addressing the financial diversity of the student body, which only sometimes has racial correlations. I haven't seen the statistics, but I bet the majority of financial aid students at the Ivies are white.

Also, you should try finding an article more recent than 2004. I believe the more generous financial aid policies began after 2004.
