Hearings on the mainland heard testimony on barriers to Hispanic access to higher education; factors affecting the retention and graduation of Hispanic students in higher education; the professional development and advancement of Hispanics, particularly in the field of higher education; and institutional assistance to colleges and universities serving low-income Hispanic students.

  • Sitios Arqueológicos De Ponce
    Sitios Arqueológicos de Ponce RESUMEN ARQUEOLÓGICO DEL MUNICIPIO DE PONCE La Perla del Sur o Ciudad Señorial, como popularmente se le conoce a Ponce, tiene un área de aproximadamente 115 kilómetros cuadrados. Colinda por el oeste con Peñuelas, por el este con Juana Díaz, al noroeste con Adjuntas y Utuado, y al norte con Jayuya. Pertenece al Llano Costanero del Sur y su norte a la Cordillera Central. Ponce cuenta con treinta y un barrios, de los cuales doce componen su zona urbana: Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, Playa, Portugués Urbano, San Antón, Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, Quinto y Sexto, estos últimos seis barrios son parte del casco histórico de Ponce. Por esta zona urbana corren los ríos Bucaná, Portugués, Canas, Pastillo y Matilde. En su zona rural, los barrios que la componen son: Anón, Bucaná, Canas, Capitanejo, Cerrillos, Coto Laurel, Guaraguao, Machuelo Arriba, Magueyes, Maragüez, Marueño, Monte Llanos, Portugués, Quebrada Limón, Real, Sabanetas, San Patricio, Tibes y Vallas. Ponce cuenta con un rico ajuar arquitectónico, que se debe en parte al asentamiento de extranjeros en la época en que se formaba la ciudad y la influencia que aportaron a la construcción de las estructuras del casco urbano. Su arquitectura junto con los yacimientos arqueológicos que se han descubierto en el municipio, son parte del Inventario de Recursos Culturales de Ponce. Esta arquitectura se puede apreciar en las casas que fueron parte de personajes importantes de la historia de Ponce como la Casa Paoli (PO-180), Casa Salazar (PO-182) y Casa Rosaly (PO-183), entre otras. Se puede ver también en las escuelas construidas a principios del siglo XX: Ponce High School (PO-128), Escuela McKinley (PO-131), José Celso Barbosa (PO-129) y la escuela Federico Degetau (PO-130), en sus iglesias, la Iglesia Metodista Unida (PO-126) y la Catedral Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (PO-127) construida en el siglo XIX.

  • The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law?
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 17, Issue 4 1993 Article 5 The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law? Dorian A. Shaw∗ ∗ Copyright c 1993 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Status of Puerto Rico Revisited: Does the Current U.S.-Puerto Rico Relationship Uphold International Law? Dorian A. Shaw Abstract This Note argues that the establishment of the Commonwealth government fails to fulfill the requirements of a free associated territory as detailed in United Nations General Assembly Resolu- tions 742 (“Resolution 742”) and 1541 (“Resolution 1541”) because the Puerto Rico Constitution remains subject to the Territorial Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Territorial Clause gives the U.S. Congress plenary authority to govern territories of the United States. Part I of this Note introduces the factual and legal background of Puerto Rico’s hybrid legal status. Part II describes the different interpretations regarding the validity of Puerto Rico’s status in international law. Part III argues that the present status of Puerto Rico requires that the U.S. Congress enact legislation that allows a binding plebiscite to define the status of Puerto Rico in a manner consistent with U.N. General Assembly Resolutions 742 and 1541. Finally, this Note concludes that the U.S. Congress should act to prevent the continuation of a system of government where unequal treatment of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico is allowed under the U.S.

  • Financial Aid Received by Students Enrolled in Public and Private Postsecondary Institutions in Puerto Rico: How Do They Compare?
    Vol.2, Num.2 Año 2007 © Revista Paideia Puertorriqueña Universidad de Puerto Rico. Recinto de Río Piedras http://paideia.uprrp.edu Financial aid received by students enrolled in public and private postsecondary institutions in Puerto Rico: How do they compare? Autor: Marcos Torres-Nazario, Ed.D. Sumario Este estudio compara el tipo y la cantidad de ayudas económicas que reciben los estudiantes matriculados en las instituciones universitarias públicas y privadas en Puerto Rico. Los hallazgos revelan que existen diferencias en el perfil y el poder de compra de los estudiantes matriculados en las instituciones públicas y privadas. En general, el argumento de que un aumento en los costos de matrícula de las instituciones públicas limita el acceso a la educación de los estudiantes de bajos ingresos no se apoya con los datos recopilados de los IPEDS. Los estudiantes matriculados en instituciones públicas tienen mayor capacidad económica que aquellos matriculados en las instituciones privadas. Summary This study compared the financial aid received by students enrolled in public and private postsecondary institutions in Puerto Rico. The findings revealed differences in the student profile and purchasing power of public vs. private students. In conclusion, the argument that a higher tuition will affect low-income students forcing them to leave postsecondary education is not supported by the data. Findings revealed that student’s enrolled in public institutions have more purchasing power than those enrolled in private institutions. Introduction The University of Puerto Rico System (UPR) is the biggest public institution of Higher Education in Puerto Rico. In 2005, they enrolled about 70,000 undergraduate students in 11 campuses (Tendencias PR, n.d).

  • Hispanic-Serving Institutions (Hsis): 2019-20
    Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): 2019-20 The mission of Excelencia in Education is to accelerate Latino student success in higher education. A critical group of institutions enrolling and graduating Latino students are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Summary of the 2019-20 HSI List In the 1980s, leaders recognized a small set of institutions enrolled a large percentage of Latino students but had low levels of resources to educate these students. The classification of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) formally recognized these institutions for capacity-building and other support. HSIs are defined as accredited, degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education with 25% or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment.1 In 2019-20, 569 institutions met the enrollment definition of HSIs. HSIs represent 18% of colleges/universities and enroll 67% of Latino undergraduates. The list of institutions identified as HSIs in this analysis is not intended to designate eligibility for any specific program; rather, the list is meant to assist in considering and analyzing the institutions that meet the basic legislative definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The following list of HSIs was created using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).2 Location Sector State/Location # HSIs Sector # HSIs % HSIs California 175 Public, 2-year 235 41% Texas 100 Private not-for-profit, 4-year or above 169 30% Puerto Rico 64 Public, 4-year or above 150 26%
