Julie Sweitzer, co-director of the Educational Equity Resource Center, was recently quoted in Minnesota Daily article, “Convincing girls they’re worth success.” The article discusses Girls in Action, a program that supports female students of color.
In the article, Sweitzer comments on the academic performance of minority students in the state. She says, “As a whole, Minnesota students do well, but when you break out ethnic groups by state, our performance with students of color is not impressive, and the gaps between white students and students of color are large.”
