Due to recent changes in the transmission from quarters to semesters, Wright State University has updated its policies in regards to maintaining Equal Education and Employment Opportunity standards in admissions, employment, academics, and tuition. Wright State University remains committed to admitting a diverse student body each year. Wright State University continues to be one of the most inclusive universities in the area, requiring low minimum SAT and ACT scores for admission and boasting the most diverse student body when compared with other major universities in the area. When considering admissions, Wright State University ranks rigor of secondary school record, academic GPA, and standardized test scores as the most important factors of gaining admission. Wright State University does not consider financial need in the admissions process, reiterating its commitment to attaining a diverse campus. The minimum requirements for an in-state student’s unconditional acceptance to Wright State University include the following: a composite score of 18 on the ACT or the reading and math score of 840 on the SAT, a 2.0 GPA in high school, and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum. Specifically, Wright State University’s focus is to “continue its cooperative efforts with other segments of the regional community in working toward equal educational and employment opportunity” and to “continue to offer counseling and encouragement to high school students who might feel excluded from the university on the basis of social or economic considerations,” in accordance with 4001.15 of the Wright Way Policy. The Wright Way Policy targets four main areas: General Procedures, Workforce Analysis, Employee Recruitment Goals, and Student Services to ensure that all aspects of the university are geared towards creating a diverse campus centered around equal opportunity for all students and employees. In June 2012, President Hopkins stated, “Wright State University is committed to the success of its students, faculty and staff. The supportive environment we provide is designed to encourage the academic pursuits of all members of our university community, including diverse abilities and educational backgrounds, ethnic and cultural heritages, family experiences and economic means, physical and learning differences, geographically mobile and place bound circumstances, and career and life aspirations.” This demonstrates Wright State University’s commitment to equal opportunity and diversity, making it evident that it continues today.
