Official records do not track the race of students before 1970. Pre-1970 numbers (reported in The Story of North Texas by James Rogers) are from President J.C. Matthews' correspondence during those years. African American enrollment numbers since 1970 and all total enrollment figures are from UNT Fact Books.
