, 15:57, April 27, 2007→Proposed change in "smallest minority enrollments" paragraph
:Ethnic diversity at UW-Madison is among the lowest in the Big Ten<ref>In the Big Ten schools, the U. S. News' [http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc_campdiv_brief.php Campus Ethnic Diversity Index] ranges from 0.47 (Northwestern) down to 0.17 (Iowa), with Wisconsin-Madison third from the bottom at 0.22</ref>, with the student composition comprising only 5.2% Asian-Americans, 3% Hispanics, 2.7% Africans and 0.6% Native Americans.

:In the Big Ten schools, the U. S. News' [http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc_campdiv_brief.php Campus Ethnic Diversity Index] ranges from 0.47 (Northwestern) down to 0.17 (Iowa), with Wisconsin-Madison third from the bottom at 0.22.
I'll preserve the location in the article that Aschafly thinks this material deserves. I think comparison among the Big Ten seems fair since they are all broadly comparable institutions. I think "among the lowest in the Big Ten" is fair since it's in the bottom three, and its score of 0.22 isn't very far from Iowa's 0.17. I don't think the use of the word "only" is appropriate without any rationale for what the percentages ''should'' be, but I'll leave it.
I just don't think "has one of the smallest minority enrollments among major schools" is justified by the facts. "Among the lowest in the Big Ten" is as close as I can some to preserving Aschlafly's point without stretching the facts beyond the breaking point.
