I do notice that you do not include Native American/Alaskan Natives or Asian/Pacific Islanders in your demographics. Why is that, your own cultural bias? I wish I could have gone to college, but as one of these minorities there were no ‘slots’ held open for me.

Is there something stopping you from going to college now? On-line courses abouond. Try CCA.edu

DUH?- – - as long as the focus is on ‘getting theirs’ instead of individual achievement these so-called leech-like minorities will continue to decline. No easy way to fulfilling lives when people think nothing is FAIR.

Thanks for this excellent reporting. Instead of trying to assign blame — a province routinely claimed by our elected officials, alas — you have pulled together relevant and troubling facts, and explained how we got here. I hope that all members of the Colorado Legislature, as well as other key elected and appointed officials, will study this report. You have given them a blueprint for action. Can they surpass their special-interest supporters and come together for the good of the state and our people? The recent record isn’t very good. But the stakes never have been higher. Which pathway will we choose? Continued (even accelerated) accusations, brickbats, finger-pointing, petty jealousies, doctrinaire and cliched positions? Or a genuine effort to make our state a leader?
