Very interesting piece about Rutgers-Newark and its unconventional admission policies and efforts to keep minority students in school.

Thanks for pointing that out. This is far more important than some lame statistical pursuit of "diversity." ALL Rutgers people can be proud of that graduation rate, and the fact it's almost identical for black and white students is awesome.

Of course it's mostly on the individual to do what needs to be done. But for some, even just a little nudge here and there can make all the difference. Bravo to Rutgers-Newark, and here's hoping many, many public universities learn from this.
