MSU also enrolled 1,500+ students who required remedial academic work in math, English or both. "Students enrolled in the supplemental academic instruction, which offers “gateway courses,” can take required English and math at the same time. About 1,500 of Metro’s 22,000 students take such classes." The "remedial" program was also designed to specifically increase Hispanic enrollment at MSU. The vast majority, 83%, dont' earn a degree but MSU's racial quota system receives much needed numbers. Of course, DP reported the story in 2014. Inconvenient truths. http://www.denverpost.com/2014/05/04/metro-program-gives-remedial-students-quicker-path-to-degree/.
