Jackson Visits UR
"We must not just admire Dr. King but we must follow. There is
no struggle in admiration because it requires no action. We need to
learn the value of living together," said Rev. Jesse Jackson on

Presidents:
Same Look, Different Decade
"Although more members of minority groups and women lead higher-education
institutions today than in the past, a study of college presidents released
this week by the American Council on Education shows the rate of diversification
in the president's office has been slow, particularly since the late
1990s."
