A couple of Daily Southtown readers want to know why Moraine Valley Community College restricts enrollment in some classes to blacks only.
"While helping my son register for college at Moraine Valley Community College, we noticed that the required course College 101 has two sections limited to African-American students," one Speak Out participant observed. "He wants to know why there are not two sections limited to Asian-American students? How about Native American students?"
Another reader sent me a copy of course listings. Sure enough, for the one-credit-hour, fall semester course, "College: Changes, Challenges, Choice," there's a note that registration for some sections is "limited to African-American students."
The course meets for eight weeks. Students get together for nearly two hours per session in a discussion/lecture format. All full-time students at the Palos Hills-based school are required to take the course their first year, said Jessica Crotty, the college's assistant director of communications.
