Mostly White College
 n.— «The Free Lance-Star rightly criticized the University of Mary Washington for its abysmal record of minority recruitment, especially among African-American students.…But there’s really not that much difference, when all is said and done, between a place whose nickname was “Mostly White College,” and the institution some have already taken to calling the “University of Mostly White.”» —“Whether ‘college’ or ‘university,’ it’s still a ‘mostly white’ school” by Denis Nissim-Sabat et al Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg, Va.) Mar. 25, 2005.
