Department of Education in 1981 to progressively rai minority enrollments over a five-year period. Under the plan the institutions are to raise black enrollme by 2,295 students. WHEN A school starts out with few blacks on campus a makes a 10 percent increase, it sounds like a tremendous i provement, Bolin said ? but the rise should seem trivial wh compared to USC's strong minority enrollment level. "1 think we're doing a good job," Bolin said. "The co mission just blasted us. We have the highest enrollment black kids in the country out of the predominantly wh public schools. "We have 2,444 (black students) enrolled ? that's mc than the whole state's got." Bolin said USC has been actively recruiting black studei since 1969, long before it became a state policy funded federal funds. Scene from the past?
