The New Face OF AMERICA: Hispanics, Immigration, and Higher Education.

The article discusses the growth in the immigrant population of Hispanic Americans in the U.S., as well as its impact on higher education. According to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center, Hispanic Americans make up a full 36% of the 300 million population in the U.S. in 2006. The same report shows that young Hispanic undergraduates are half likely as their white peers to complete a bachelor's degree. Aside from providing education to this segment of U.S. population, higher education institutions and leaders should get involve in the immigration debate.
