John Bolii
The state's public colleges made an agreement with the U.
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.
