You lecture me about real data. You want to use statistical principles as a weapon to say there isn't enough data movement to prove "decline" with Native American student enrollment.
I've been extremely forthright.
How about you prove your point?
Go ahead a prove the argument that minority enrollment numbers has improved significantly -- statistically significantly -- over the last 12, 15, 20 years.
Prove that the BYU minority population is statistically greater than the minority population in the US LDS Church, and has been statistically improving over the past 12, 15, 20 years.
Prove the LDS Polynesian population has always been in Utah in large numbers, and that over the past 12, 15, 20 years it has been statistically static, therefore, you would expect no increase in Polynesian enrollment at BYU
Prove that BYU has been doing a great job paying attention to, statistically increasing enrollment, and then working hard toward the success of URMs over the past 12, 15, 20 years. Good luck.
Turnabout is fair play.
