Text description of this graph is available on a separate page.
Results from the 2006 Senior Survey indicate that for Cornell and its peer schools, at least 40 percent of seniors report that they have seriously questioned or rethought their beliefs about religion, politics, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Cornell seniors are slightly less likely than seniors at peer schools to have seriously rethought their views on any of these topics. Note: Peer schools include a small group of schools with whom Cornell competes fairly evenly in terms of freshman admissions.
These data provide some indication of progress towards our diversity goals. The Cornell Division of Planning and Budget is an excellent source for additional information about students, faculty, and staff.
