According to university documents, in 1993 the cam- pus "reached cultural pluralism, with no ethnic majority." The labels used for creating the groupings remained the same with the exception of black being changed to African American. These were the percentages of each ethnic group at SJSU in 1993: Asian, 23.6; African American, 4.3; Mexican-American, 7.9; other Hispanic, 3.3; Filipino, 4.9; American Indian/Alaslcan; 0.7; Pacific Islander, 0.51; White, 44; and unknown, 10.9. Kathy Rott, interim director of academic planning for SJSU, said the majority of students that makeup the "Unlcnown" category have declined to state their ethnic backgrounds. "No one says you have to provide your ethnicity," Rott said. According to university documents, in May 1995 SJSU President Robert Caret established the position of assis- tant to the president for campus climate.
