I'm not guessing or making up numbers here. The numbers come from BYU, Pew and other reputable sources.

My primary premise has been that Native American and Pacific Islander enrollment has been dropping at BYU. Compare the numbers to the overall enrollment numbers. This is indisputable.

Secondarily, you either buy in to the idea that BYU has had, our should have a special affinity/kinship with Native Americans and Pacific Islanders. Also a responsibility to minority members in general. I have been in meetings with those in authority at BYU who claim this is true and that this is a goal.

If you don't agree with this, you will almost certainly disagree with everything else I'm saying. If you agree with it, I'm simply pointing out that over the last 12 - 15 years it would seem that BYU has done a poor job of accomplishing that goal.

Third, you can "spin" the population numbers anyway you want. The point I am making here is a simple one. BYU Pacific Islander numbers have been dropping. The Pacific Islander population in Utah has exploded. In the Tongan population alone there are 29 wards now and 3 stakes in Utah... just think about that. Apparently you don't think it's reasonable to expect that you would see some sort of uptick in BYU enrollment in the face of that change in demographic.

You can ignore the fact that social and economic justice are real issues if you want to. You can disagree about how to address those issues. That's entirely up to you, but it doesn't invalidate what I'm saying.
