I might be a bit naive but the question I keep asking myself whenever I see articles such as this is why aren't they trying to "recruit AMERICAN kids" no matter their nationality? Why aren't folks trying to raise the academics of ALL American kids and not just one specific group?
I could be way off here but I truly believe that separating Americans into sub groups instigates prejudice.

my 2 cents

College program honored for work with Hispanics

PHOENIX - Maricopa Community Colleges' Achieving a College Education got top honors for its efforts to recruit and retain Latino students.

The award Examples of Excelencia is given by Excelencia in Education, which honors and promotes programs that boost Latino enrollment and graduation in higher education.

Students at risk of dropping out of high school, with no family history of high school or college graduation, under-represented groups, those from single-parent homes and those with economic hardships are considered for the ACE program.
