An article by David Gonzalez of The New York Times on September 28, 2014 covered a birthday reception honoring Ramon J. Jimenez for his efforts in the mid-1970's in support of Hostos Community College. Jimenez and others organized successful opposition to a proposed merger of the institution. Their efforts helped pave the way for Hostos to continue as a bilingual institution.
Eugenio MarĂa de Hostos Community College was founded in 1968 and is now part of The City University of New York (CUNY) system. Hostos currently serves over 7,000 students.
