URM's:

1. Native Americans
2. Blacks
3. Native Puerto Ricans
4. Mexican-Americans

Do Somali immigrant children count as URMs???

 

[Rendar5]

nope. just those listed. Under-represented means a proportional minority as far as I know, not just any minority.

Well, if you're from Somalia, then I would say that you're black, unless you're arabic, which is possible from your proximity to that region. Basically it all comes down to skin color.

If that were completely true, than hispanics would be included instead of specifying native puerto rican and mexican-american.

 

[sistahnik]

thanks for the clarification guys! hope everyone had a good weekend!!!🙂
