ADMISSIONSAbstract
This week, the Time-Louis Harris Poll in Time Magazine1 demonstrated that blacks categorically felt that their best chance for progress was in getting more blacks better educated. This feeling is shared by our city administration as fostered by the Open Admissions Policy in City University. Under this plan, all high school graduates are eligible for college entrance. This fall, 30,000 students will be accepted from 55,000 applicants. This is 10,000 more than were accommodated this year.
