Curator: UM [University of Missouri] needs minorities: "Walsworth floated a few ideas at last month's UM Board of Curators retreat in southeast Missouri. He'd like to offer full-ride scholarships to minority students to fill any unused classroom seats. He said he doesn't know how much unused capacity there is, but he said that systemwide, it could amount to the equivalent of a couple of thousand students.
Walsworth also said doctoral degree programs should be made available free of charge to minorities, plus monthly stipends provided for living expenses. Doctoral graduates then could be recruited as faculty, which could draw more minority students. 'I have talked to fellow curators, and they are all in favor of this,' Walsworth said this morning. 'What I said at the retreat and at the curators meeting they all concurred with.'"
