Simmons College of Kentucky is addressing the diversity gap in the data science field with the help of a $500,000 donation from JP Morgan Chase.
Rev. Dr. Kevin Cosby, Simmons College president, said any investment in the city's only historically Black college is one the greatest.
"This wonderful institution, JP Morgan Chase, is saying we're going to do everything we can possible, not to block you, but to assist you to sit in some places that the data says Blacks historically don't sit in; that is in science and technology," said Cosby.
