Rolling Out

For the first time in this prestigious institution’s history, the incoming class of students at Harvard University is majority minority.

That has never happened in its 380 years of existence. The class of 2021 is 50.8 percent minority, and is comprised of Blacks, Hispanics or Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans or Pacific Islanders, the Boston Globe reported.

“To become leaders in our diverse society, students must have the ability to work with people from different backgrounds, life experiences and perspectives,” Harvard spokeswoman Rachael Dane said in the statement. “Harvard remains committed to enrolling diverse classes of students.”

This milestone was close to happening a year ago as minority students made up 47.3 percent of the incoming freshman class, the publication reported.
