General College faculty members and staff members have vowed to fight for their program. On Wednesday, about 10 students were arrested after refusing to leave after a sit-in in Bruininks' office. On Thursday, the Minneapolis Urban League and the Council on Black Minnesotans held a meeting to discuss their concerns. Last month the Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution asking that General College stay open.
Third, Bruininks recommends creating a vice president for diversity position for improving recruitment, retention and success of a diverse student body. http://www.startribune.com/stories/1592/5390288.html Posted By Shawn Lewis, former 8th ward resident and Life Time member of U of M Alumni Association -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm REMINDERS: 1.
