Salovey, 65, took office in 2013 as the university’s 23rd president and sought, he said, to build “a more accessible Yale.” The share of incoming freshmen with enough financial need to qualify for federal Pell grants doubled from 11 percent in his first year to 22 percent this year.
Federal data shows the share of freshmen who are Black, Latino or of Native origin climbed from 17 percent in 2013 to 25 percent in 2021. Yale says the total is even higher when multiracial students are taken into account. But a Supreme Court ruling in June that rejected race-conscious college admissions programs will pose a major challenge for Salovey and other higher education leaders who hope to sustain racial diversity on their campuses. Since the ruling, admissions practices that grant a “legacy” preference to the children of alumni have come under
because those practices tend to provide a disproportionate benefit to the White and wealthy. About 11 percent of Yale’s incoming freshmen have legacy ties.Asked whether Yale is reconsidering legacy preferences, Salovey said in an interview: “We’re thinking hard about that question.” He said the university plans to discuss in more detail its response to the court ruling. “Stay tuned.”
He also pledged continued “aggressive” outreach to potential applicants of all backgrounds and to ensure Yale’s admissions program complies with the law.in decades. It enrolled about 6,600 undergraduates as of last fall.
