Suhadolnik's Comments on Racism Scored

"I am particularly appalled with Suhadolnik's comments that Cleveland State University would have to lower its standards to attract more black students and by doing so would make a degree worthless," states Powell W. Caesar, III of Cleveland, Ohio.

Dominic E. Jolly believed that Forbes' allegations were based on empirical evidence of black students being denied equal access to education opportunities, considering the following factors: low rate of attrition, lack of involvement of black students and faculty and the discrepancy of an urban university having such a low total enrollment cannot be corrected due to the poor secondary education of blacks and any university intervention would "lower the standards" of the university.

Note: I do not have the actual article (as of yet) with former State Senator Gary Suhadolnik's comments. It is my goal to provide the views on various perspectives leading up to, during and after the CSU protest.
