But that's not the case at the University of California, Riverside, where 64% of the poor students graduate within six years, about the same as the overall graduation rate.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coenet.us/ecm/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Announcements_and_Events&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=3623"><P>The knee-jerk explanation — that Riverside must succeed by limiting the number of poor and minority students admitted — is wrong. Riverside is very diverse, especially with Latino students, and 45% of its students receive federal Pell grants for poor students.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coenet.us/ecm/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Announcements_and_Events&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=3623"><P>The real answer emerges from a <A target="_blank" href="http://www.coenet.us/files/files-demography_is_not_destiny.pdf">study recently released by the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education</A>: Riverside treats students differently.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coenet.us/ecm/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Announcements_and_Events&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=3623">innovative educators have decided to defy the maxim that demography is destiny. They create protective bubbles around at-risk students. They don't "lose" students in the system. They plan on success begetting success. It's being done.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/24A9B44F-D0E9-46D3-B4F2-935C310F447C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
