Increasing Minority Involvement.
New Jersey State Dept. of Higher Education, Trenton.
New Jersey's plan for increasing minority group participation in higher education is presented. The plan, developed in response to declining minority enrollments, outlines eight goals for student recruitment and retention and the strategies intended to achieve them. The goals concern strengthening efforts to attract academically prepared minority students to New Jersey colleges, expanding programs to improve the preparation and aspirations of educationally disadvantaged minority students, developing programs responding to Hispanic population needs for English language preparation, increasing minority faculty and administrators; developing campus climates supportive of integration, strengthening special studies programs, services to minority students and surrounding minority communities, and exercising more systematic state oversight of institutional efforts to improve minority participation and achievement. Specific strategies for achieving each goal are noted, including changes or emphases in existing programs and planned policy initiatives. (MSE)
