Pace Now

Not too long after the 2006 ballot initiative, Marvin Krislov left Michigan to become the president of Oberlin College, in Ohio, and later took the same role at Pace University, in New York City—a school that is less than fifty per cent white and admits more than eighty per cent of its applicants. Working at a school that’s not hyper-focused on élite admissions has not changed his belief in the importance of diversity. But his latest gig has changed his perspective. “I wouldn’t say that I’m running away from the notion that affirmative action can be an important tool for college admissions,” he said. These days, though, he spends more time thinking about everything that happens before kids apply to college, and how debates about diversity in higher education have obscured the many barriers that students face in getting to college in the first place. “The majority of Americans are not going to go to the University of Michigan or Harvard,” Krislov said. “And that’s just fine.”

Even more disturbing, said Pace University criminologist and former NYPD lieutenant Darrin Porcher, PhD, is that more serious crimes involving perpetrators on e-scooters and e-bikes are becoming more frequent. Those crimes, include a shooting in Sunset Park, Brooklyn last week by an e-scooter driver who hit multiple unoccupied cars, are becoming higher in number. A man on an e-scooter of some kind also allegedly attacked and sexually assaulted women last month in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan. Porcher called for greater NYPD action. “Carve out an additional unit that can have the sole focus of looking at these people that are on these e-bikes, scooters and dirt bikes,” he said.
