   • 2011 April, “Winning the Future IMPROVING EDUCATION FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY”, in CNN en Español‎, pages 14, 15:

     More than half of America’s Latino undergraduates attend an HSI – that is, a public or private nonprofit college or university with a student body that is at least 25 percent Latino. HSIs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) serve a higher proportion of low- and middle-income students than their peer institutions, and together they enroll nearly sixty percent of the Nation’s 4.7 million minority undergraduate students. […] Enhancing education opportunities for Hispanics will be vital to achieving this objective, and we will need the continued leadership of HSIs to increase the enrollment, retention and graduation rates of our Hispanic students.
