Among the 54 practices listed are the following: (1) using minority employees, students, faculty, and alumni as recruiters or members of recruiting teams; (2) developing cooperative arrangements with minority churches, community groups, professional organizations, etc., to cosponsor recruitment programs; (3) ensuring minority representation on admissions committees; (4) making financial aid information available in other languages as well as English; (5) conducting workshops in faculty-minority student relations; and (6) conducting exit interviews with minority students to identify problem areas.
