The school has joined colleges like Virginia Tech in expanding outreach for this micro-minority often overlooked as administrators push to diversify student bodies. They face competition from campuses with stronger American-Indian programs as well as lingering community mistrust of largely white institutions. Census officials recorded about 158200 American Indians among the nearly 16 million college students enrolled in 2001. Their numbers are equally low at Virginia schools: At George Mason University for example American Indians numbered just 99 among over 29000 students last fall. At Virginia larger minority groups have traditionally gotten the most attention. There a peer advisory program pairs incoming black students with black upperclassmen for guidance; leadership programs and a resource center target Asian and Latino students as well as gay and lesbian ones.

With growing numbers clout and self-confidence the Indian American community is turning its admiration for the Israel lobby and its respect for high-achieving Jewish Americans into a powerful new force of its own. Following consciously in AIPAC’s footsteps the… companies reap a major chunk of it.
