UW-Madison is a nationally renowned institution of higher education, well known for its research, outstanding faculty and beautiful campus.
However, one thing that usually slips through the cracks in UW-Madison recruiting measures is the severe problem the university has with the retention of students of color. In trying to increase the level of diversity on campus, UW-Madisonâ??like many state schoolsâ??falls short in graduating minority students.
Research has shown that students of color leave the university due to campus climate. Thus, research serves as evidence of racial problems on a predominantly white campus.
