At Princeton, when it does something it must do it properly.”The creation of the center certainly falls in line with the university’s continued efforts to diversify—Princeton was the last Ivy to admit African-Americans but now has the highest percentage of black students among all eight members of the league, according to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.
