Title
Black Praxis May 1, 1975 Volume 1, Number 4 “Suspensions Plague Blacks; Poor Performances Blamed” p. 1
Description
Explains how an increasing number of Black students have been suspended on the basis of poor academic performance. Says that five years ago (1975) the College admitted a number of “high-risk” students, but that the majority of these students had risen to the occasion and graduated. Now, there are less high risk students but suspensions have increased. Claims the college employs a “sink or swim” attitude with Black students, and not all suspensions demonstrate clear academic failure.
