Two realities, like two trains on the same track, are about to crash and this will cause an educational crisis of major proportions. The first reality is the burgeoning Latino student population in the k -12 levels and the second is a dysfunctional and racist higher education system. At a time when the total state Latino student population in the k-12 public schools is rapidly approaching the majority, the number of undergraduate Latino students in the nine University of California campuses has dropped to only 13% for Latinos as a whole, to 10% Read More Go to Site

		Low population disqualifies minority status ^Votes:0 Thursday, March 20, 1997 Low population disqualifies minority status By AIMÉE HARRIS Collegian Staff Writer Melissa Gonzalez was more than shocked when she learned that if she attended the University of Kentucky, Lexington she was not eligible for a minority scholarship, even though she is a Latino. Now, as a Penn State student, Gonzalez, president of Latino Caucus, is eligible for diversity scholarships because the University and the commonwealth recognize Latinos as minorities. But in Kentucky, and several other states, this is not the case. The Kentucky Kernel, the University of Kentucky's student newspaper, reported that Kentucky gives away $3.3 million in scholarships every year. However, the only minority students able to receive this aid are blacks. Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Read More Go to Site
