How many ways can you spell institutional racism?

Dinesh D'Souza would have this girl for lunch. Black professors are highly sought after in the upper-education community. The reason she has never seen a black prof. is because most of them are at better schools, or in the private sector.

And I would like to see a little bit more of her "non-"statistic about relative salaries.

Can you imagine her "bonding" with the likes of Prof. Sowell? Bet you can't. LOL

On the other hand...Alfred University is a long way from the Bronx. I have to hand it to any young kid from the Bronx who gets on a bus to go a couple of hundred miles away to college. And survive. Her English is very good, considering that she probably went to public schools. And she is motivated enough to write a piece for the Buffalo newspaper. She's writing a lot of liberal baloney but she's a college kid, exposed to all those left wing commie professors. I'm not ready to give up on her.

The number of students at colleges in upstate and western NY from down state (the city, the island, etc...) is very very large.

I honestly think that many of them choose colleges in the western part of the state because it is as far as possible away from their home yet still in the state so they can pay in state tuition.

When I went to Buffalo State every other person I met was from down state, including my now wife.
