A few reasons. The lady said in an interview that a large % of DSU students come from NY, and a large % of alumni end up working and living in metro NYC. So they're just expanding and strengthening the pipeline and bringing alumni into the fold as mentors.
Also, Mayor Adams was deliberate in using the city's resources to benefit Black students. Dr. Johnson was already working in the NYC public school system, so she did the legwork and is making it happen.

DSU likely has Summer Enrichment programs for local high school students in Delaware that serves as a direct pipeline.

They've been kinda sorta doing this in NYC for a few years

My little cousin got her associates from Medgar when she graduated from their HS next door

And when I went there they were letting us take college calculus at Medgar in 12 the grade so we'd have credits going into undergrad

The times are a changing...

They do this a lot in Florida if I remember correctly. When I use to hire for entry tech jobs I had to make a point to make sure they had at least did a year of college courses and wasn’t some 18 year old kid trying to front they were older using a high school connected associate.

It’s a great program, but tricky to hire for since you don’t know how much they actually Ed learned.
