*Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable‘s Hutchinson Scholar-Athlete program stands in sharp contrast to the college cheating scandal involving athletic programs at USC and other colleges.
The awards program honors top inner-city school scholar athletes at Los Angeles high schools. The honorees are athletes who have attained excellence in the classroom, a sterling GPA, and in community service activities as well as in their sport. The program shows that inner city athletes can attain academic and sports excellence in colleges if given the opportunity.
“The great tragedy is that programs like our scholar-athlete program are not recognized and supported by college coaches and administrators at schools such as USC,” says Hutchinson,” This program would boost the schools prestige, provide opportunities for academically achieving inner city athletes, and send the message that cheating to get into a sports program is unnecessary and will not be tolerated.”
