Black Issues in Higher Education, March 2, 2000

OXFORD, Ohio - Minority applications at Miami University are up 27 percent from a year ago, school officials say.

Minority applications increased across the board among Black, American Indian, Hispanic and Asian students, university spokeswoman Holly Wissing says.

University administrators were pleased with the response, which came after Miami officials advertised last fall in newspapers and on radio and billboards to minority applicants, Wissing says.
