What are the Least Diverse Colleges?

I'm curious to know more about diversity on college campuses. Can anyone give details about which colleges are considered to be the least diverse?

The matter of diversity on campus can be quite complex as it encompasses various dimensions, including but not limited to ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity. Let's focus on racial and ethnic diversity for the sake of this discussion.

A common metric used for measuring racial diversity is the Simpson's Diversity Index, which is a calculation that measures the probability that two individuals selected at random from a given area will belong to the same ethnic or racial group. Generally, the higher the index, the more diverse the group.

For a few examples: According to data compiled by U.S. News and World Report, Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and Thomas More College in Kentucky are both liberal arts colleges that score quite low on the race-based Simpson's Diversity index.

Similarly, if we look at National Universities, University of New Hampshire and University of Maine are reported to have low ethnic diversity according to the same data source.

Please note that while diversity is an important consideration for many students, it should not be the sole deciding factor when selecting a school. Additionally, a school's efforts to improve diversity and inclusivity should also be looked at, as many institutions are making concerted efforts to improve these aspects.
