Le Moyne College Sees Minority Growth Amid Campus Tensions
Le Moyne College aims for a minority population rise to 20 percent by 2000 from 10 percent as Black student assaults earlier sparked concerns. Administrators met Student Senate after the incident, created two minority seats, and fostered cross group activities led by El Progresso and Asian Society. A Latin music concert by El Progresso drew broad campus interest, with Latina student Yamilet Lopez noting greater peer curiosity about her merengue and salsa.
