Some Detroit high schoolers are facing trauma, which can make even the prospect of graduating from high school feel out of reach. Hungry students have a harder time focusing in class. She coaches school professionals to work with students on making a plan after graduation. In that work, she tells them to remember that many students are used to just surviving and decided not to go to college long ago. Demacio Soto attended community college for a little bit after graduating in from Western International High School.
But he said he always struggled through classes and wasn't as interested in school as he was interested in painting and making music. I wanted to paint," he said. So Soto left community college and instead focused on art. The gamble has paid off: He has painted multiple murals across Detroit and has traveled internationally for music.
He acknowledges that college is important for many; it just didn't work for him. More: Michigan's small liberal arts colleges are in fight for survival. The Forbes report analyzed records for private colleges throughout the United States with an enrollment of students or more. Unsurprisingly, the agency denies sending anyone to Hillsdale to physically count students by race. While it's easy and appropriate to be annoyed by Arnn's description of students of color, his comments are flush with idiocy even beyond the "dark ones" stupidity.
I mean, first off, how is Hillsdale well-served by having a college president who seems to not understand the importance of attracting and maintaining students of color in an increasingly globalized education market? Secondly, Arnn is either lying, blind or stupid in his claims about the state counting black and brown faces. A man who's run a respected Michigan college for 13 years doesn't know how the state gathers information on his students, irrespective of their ethnic background?
He doesn't know that most students of color willingly self-identify or that the state has much more reliable and unintrusive methods for determining the racial makeup of a student body than to send "face-counters" to his campus?
And what kind of crazy worldview compels the head of a college to equate monitoring diversity or the mere act of counting people of color with "state-endorsed racism? Hodshire received his vaccination, he said, after all the workers at his hospital who wanted one received a shot. For the approximately 1, doses left, Hodshire arranged a vaccination clinic at a large conference hall at the college — not far from the fridge — and staffed by hospital personnel, along with an assist from the National Guard and volunteers from the small local health department.
He invited optometrists, pharmacists, and K educators. But he also added a group not specifically included in the state priority list for the next phase: higher education employees, including those from the local beauty college — not based on age but, he said, on whether they had direct dealings with students or families.
The state, meanwhile, was about to move to add seniors to its priority list. Hodshire pointed to federal guidelines that say groups can overlap to ensure efficient distribution of available vaccine supplies. More than higher education staff members received shots from that batch of 1, No students were vaccinated, a college spokesperson said in an email. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said in an email that the agency does not collect or approve plans from hospitals about vaccination efforts.
So, it set another clinic for late January, offering sign-ups to day care workers, bank employees, clergy and grocery clerks — again, with a requirement that all be involved in public-facing positions. Only then did the facility expand sign-ups to those 65 and up for the remaining slots, which were left after interested clergy, day care and other retail workers signed up.
