Racially-charged incidents at the University of California San Diego have led administrators and the Black Student Union to team up in setting new school diversity goals.

The agreement, signed by the two groups Thursday, details new initiatives designed to combat the recent hate incidents on campus and provide new avenues for tolerance.

The University will diversify the student body by increasing the number of students of color, according to a joint statement issued faculty, students, and administrators involved in the talks. The University will use targeted outreach to get more students of color.

Black students currently make up 1.6 percent of the student body.

Administrators will also re-write the student code of conduct, and provide more classes and instructors dedicated to diversity issues.

The statement said the discussion covered many topics and generated good ideas.

The progress comes in response to the tumultuous past month at UCSD, when the student body grappled with what many called a racist off-campus party, found a noose in the library and a KKK hood on a University statue.

The Black Student Union issued a list of 32 demands of the administration shortly after the party, several of which were granted on the spot, and more which were just granted in the recent conferences.
