Syracuse University students protest budget cuts that they say hurt minorities - Jolene Almendarez, Syracuse.com

About 150 Syracuse University students Friday protested funding cuts they say disproportionately hurt students of color on campus. One key was the university's plan to reduce its Posse Scholars program recruitment efforts, said David Jackson, a sophomore at the university who was recruited from Miami through the program. The university is reducing its recruitment from Atlanta, Los Angeles and Miami to only Miami, Syracuse University Media Manager Keith Kobland said. Students already attending the university under the scholars program are grandfathered in. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/09/syracuse_university_protest_posse_students_funding_race.html
