Hostos Community College [Bronx, NY]

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 María 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.

National Hispanic University (CA)

Joe Rodriguez reports in the San Jose Mercury News on March 19, 2014 that National Hispanic University (NHU) will close by 2015.  The institution was established in Oakland, CA in 1981 and was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2002.  Laureate Education, Inc., a for-profit chain of colleges, acquired NHU four years ago.

A historical timeline is available on the institution's web site.
