Private colleges must strive to maintain diverse student bodies
March 13, 2010
New data and studies show warning signs that we're in danger of falling behind when it comes to college graduation rates of students of color. As dean of admission at a private liberal arts college, I am well aware of the labels such institutions bear - homogenous, expensive, "elite." But Occidental College has a longstanding tradition of access. It serves as a model for other colleges of the arts and sciences that more recently have been ramping up efforts to recruit and retain bright and talented young people of all backgrounds.
