\nSince that time, administrators at Glendale have become more sensitive to the issue of the high suspension rates for students of color and have taken affirmative steps to address it.<\/p>\nLink to Deseret News Article: Slashing Suspensions<\/a><\/p>\nWhen I addressed the issue in 2001<\/strong>, the school bureaucracy had me arrested and denied that there was a problem.<\/p>\nIn 2005<\/strong>, Glendale Principal, Ernie Nix took the courageous step of acknowledging the problem and then took steps to rectify the situation.<\/p>\n2013<\/strong><\/span>
