Populations. Weve been doing that by, you know, producing courses that engage atrisk students, students that are atrisk before they even start school by attracting immigrants to take our courses. And weve been doing a really, really good job. We serve latin american latino studies serves around 20,000 students at city college. The diversity departments probably serve the students of color which probably represent 60 to 70 of the entire population of city college. So, this attack is forgetting the fact that the majority of the small departments are base their curriculum on grass root connectionses with the students.
