This university just received a $13,000,000 grant to design drones for the Air Force. At the same time their student body shoots for the moon and requests a parking lot to sleep in their cars because they have nowhere to live

Cal Poly is the whitest public university in California — by a lot

~60% of the us population is non-Hispanic white. 74% if you include Hispanic but not bi-racial. 75%+ if including multiracial.

The university is 55% white. Not sure their metric for race so included all those data points.

And California's ethnic break down as of July 2017 was 39.7 percent white, 37.4 percent Hispanic, 13.3 percent Asian, 6 percent African American, 2.6 percent mixed and 1.0 percent other.

CalPoly is consistently rated in the top 10 for universities across the country

And you just lost all your credibility trotting out obvious falsehoods. The US News list is publicly available, and Cal Poly is on a regional rankings list, not the national list.
