"UW System President Kevin Reilly said 'pre-college programs appear to be successful, but require more money that UW doesn't currently have.'"

You know -- for Outreach. And studies. And outreach studies. And stuff.
Of course, the degrees granted to minorities would have little objective value, but that hasn't concerned the educrats much in the past...
isn't this the same college the photoshopped minorities into their 'fake but accurate' admission brochures?
"... graduated at a rate of 32 percent over six years, a rate 33 percent lower than their white counterparts (65 percent of whom graduated within six years)."
My math skills are waning...is that not over 50% lower?
Their next step will probably be mandated grade inflation for these poor minorities (to keep things in line with affirmative action in admissions, hiring, promotions, etc.) Those pesky college graduation rates mess it all up for them.
According to data released this week, black students who entered a UW institution in 1999 graduated at a rate of 32 percent over six years, a rate 33 percent lower than their white counterparts (65 percent of whom graduated within six years). Latino students in that class graduated a rate of just over 40 percent.
Black students made up 2.7 percent of the undergraduate student body at UW institutions in 1998, compared to 2.8 percent last year, according to the data. Latino students made up 1.8 percent of that group in 1998, compared to 2.2 percent last year.
Were I a guy, I most certainly wouldn't wanna be at U Wisconsin.
I'm under the impression that Valeria Solanas is revered as a saint at U Wisconsin. You know.. the moonbat who authored the "SCUM Manifesto"? The Society for Cutting up men"?
And then there's Donna Shalala, new chancellor of the University of Wisconsin:
snip:
In 1988, as one of her first acts as the new chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Donna Shalala convened a get-to-know-you meeting with student government leaders. Suddenly, the meeting was crashed by Black Student Union leaders angry about the tiny share of minorities in the student and faculty population as well as offensive actions by some fraternity members.
"Chancellor Shalala, you have a major issue with the racial climate here!" thundered Charles Holley, co-president of the BSU.
"Charles Holley, I know who you are. I know we have a problem. And we are going to do something about it," Shalala calmly replied, defusing tensions. Holley says Shalala really impressed him when the 5-foot-tall daughter of Lebanese immigrants then gave him a perfectly authentic soul handshake. "As my grandfather would say, you could tell she had been out after dark," Holley says, laughing.

End result... It will be much more difficult for my white, middle class son to get into UW in 2 years!!!!
