TITLE: Minorities on Campus. A Survey of Black and Hispanic
Participation in Colleges of the Rochester Area.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981
NOTE: 129 p.; Some tables may be marginally legible due to
reproduction quality of original document.
ABSTRACT: This study was designed to identify and interpret
trends in the participation of blacks and Hispanics in
Rochester, New York, area colleges and to assess policies
which affect their level of participation, either as
students or as faculty and staff members. Four areas of
concern were analyzed, including: (1) the extent to which
admissions policies enhance higher education opportunities
for minorities and the resultant enrollment trends; (2) the
ways in which student financial aid is provided and the
impact it has on minority opportunities; (3) how special
remedial programs and support services have affected
minority enrollment; and (4) the trends and policies
concerning the hiring of minority staff and faculty. The
report presents recommendations for increasing minority
participation in Rochester area colleges. The appendix
contains the responses to the survey questionnaires from
the participating colleges. (Author/APM)
