Minority enrollments soar as cuny implements tougher standards

[jameznyhc]

Looks like the racist white liberals who think hispanic and african americans admissions would plummet if these new tougher standards were enforced were dead wrong. And all the college educated race baiting african american leaders who pray on the disenfranchised and poor peoples emotions and hate predicted doom and gloom but hispanic enrollment soared 17% and the african american enrollment held steady with no change! Once again the doom and gloom negative liberals predicated wrong just like with welfare reform 10 yrs ago! what a fuckin negative party the democrats are all they see are problems yet these people seem to have made a very nice living for themselves in this country . I hate there fuckin arrogance of thinking poor minorities need Quotas or affirmative action to succed think about how racist that is . All that does is destroy self esteem lower confidence and create a atmosphere of inferiority. And they call people who oppose affirmative action racist???

Here are two sources:

"NEW STANDARDS MAKE CUNY PRIDE OF THE CITY" (http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/9193.htm)

"MINORITIES UP AT CUNY, CRITICS HAVE TO 'ADMIT'" (http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/9499.htm)

Though I don't see where this was an overtly partisan issue; Teacher, students, and administrators (http://mbhs.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/cybereng/opinion3/ny-education-standards.html) were critics of the plan.

Regardless, it is a most positive result.
