The cost of a college education is high right now, but it is especially so for minorities. Colleges and universities in our area, including the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, know it’s hard and are trying to make it easier to get and retain students.

An English professor at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is taking on the issue of police use of force. She’s using several programs to start a dialogue that she hopes will lead to change.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is already seeing a shortage of teachers, but the number of teachers of color is even lower. Dozens of districts in the state have no teachers of color.


WPXI Pittsburgh Gets Real focuses on issues affecting the city’s marginalized populations. Topics have included racism, housing and health-care inequities, and policing reforms.
