St. John’s College strives to attract minority students
By: jackie.sauter
WaPo has an interesting front-page profile today of Annapolis’s St. John’s College and its struggle to attract and enroll minority students. Its goal is shared by many academic institutions, including the University System of Maryland.
Only 35 of St. John’s 489 students are minorities – just over seven percent of the student body.
The story concludes by pointing out how the tables have turned: it’s no longer the school that needs to be convinced that it needs minorities; now, the minority students are the ones who need convincing that St. John’s is the best place for them.
