Amherst College
IL-55: Mission to Serve a Marginalized Population

Status Score Responsible Party
n/a 0.00 /

Criteria

An institution earns 1 bonus point when its primary purpose and/or historic mission is to serve a specific marginalized racial, ethnic, or Indigenous population, e.g., an Aboriginal college, Historically Black College or University (HBCU), First Nations university, Tribal College or University (TCU), wānanga, or international equivalent.

Measurement

Report on the institution’s primary purpose and/or historic mission. An institution that is recognized as a minority-serving institution or the equivalent based on its enrollment figures rather than its primary purpose or historic mission does not qualify. The extent to which marginalized racial, ethnic, and Indigenous groups are served by an institution is recognized in the Racial and Ethnic Diversity credit.


Applicability

This credit is optional.
