I am a parent of former St.Francis student. The reason that I decided to ultimately go with another private school in Ann Arbor was their unfair price/cost structure and their lack of ethnic diversity. I could have accepted the later, if they were making a conscious effort to increase it, but they

The curriculum and staff were very nice, but thier inability to address the social aspects of society and ensure an environment that everyone can feel comfortable, then I suspect that Ann Arbor and this countries demographic shifts will leave St. Francis searching for students to enroll.
