“Mandatory” swim tests eliminated at Penn State
February 11, 1982
East Halls Black Student Union representative uncovers that Penn State’s long time “mandatory†swim test/class was never really mandatory. When Darryl Daisey questioned the “policyâ€, he discovered it was never really a requirement at all, even though it had been communicated as such for over 48 years. It was felt that the elimination of this “policy†removed a small barrier to minority recruitment.
