Article "More Black Recruitment Proposed"
Dublin Core
Title
Article "More Black Recruitment Proposed"
Subject
Description
The article "More Black Recruitment Proposed," published by The Collegian April 3rd, 1986, discusses whether or not there was a need to recruit more black students. The Students Affairs office would have been in charge of hiring a black minority recruiter who would have been in charge of finding students and keeping them at the University of Richmond. Students held a meeting to elect officers for a black awareness club, hoping that a more public presence would attract black students. Some of the students interviewed said that the cost of the school was a deterrent as not a lot of black families would have been able to afford UR especially because there were few scholarship opportunities for black students who were not athletes. A fear was expressed however that black students segregating themselves would further cause them to be perceived as other.
