The board of trustees for the Naval Academy is hoping to boost efforts to attract minority students.
The Board of Visitors, which includes members of Congress, is in the process of drafting a letter to Congress pointing out the importance of recruiting top-notch minority candidates through the congressional nomination process.
Over the past year, the academy has approached 23 members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to discuss the academy’s goal of attracting more minorities.
