I graduated from three white universities, I previously worked at black and white universities and I currently work at a white university. That being said; I’ve seen higher education from both sides as a student, staff, and faculty member. I believe there is a need for HBCU and the ones being run poorly need to be revamped not eliminated.

LONDON… YOU CAN TURN ALL OF THAT AROUND AND SAY NOW THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE IN THE SPOT LIGHT. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON EDUCATION AND REVISING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. MONEY AND BETTER TEACHERS WILL ALSO BE SHARED WITH BLACK COLLEGES MAKING THEM JUST AS COMPEITIVE AS ANY OTHER INSTITUTION. THAT MEANS ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY WILL BE LOOKING AT BLACK COLLEGES TO ENROLL INTO . NOT BECAUSE IT IS A BLACK COLLEGE BUT BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THE SAME EDUCATION AND A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AND FOR OTHER CULTURES MABE A CUT IN TUITION FOR BEING THE MINORITY.

Maybe you can enlighten me… A Black university that is in demand must be solvent to stay in business. But sounds as if there is a money problem… so consolidation with a larger university seems reasonable… that does not mean a black college couldn’t retain some of its original identity…. Oxford U. has a number of colleges within and many are purpose-based… however that identity is largely based on academics not race/culture.

I would venture that this comes down to some issue of “preserving” culture primarily. While the color of ones skin does not suggest a common culture there is a shared history for some and to them it is important that be preserved. Some might feel that “inegration” at some point threatens culture… that would explain the racial and religous enclaves that spring up across the US and UK and other countries… birds of a feather essentially…

Now, some may also be threatened by being thrown into a “larger pool” especially if they feel at a disadvantage in terms of gaining admission, getting grants or loans, etc… I’m sure some believe if a black applies to a largely black university the odds of acceptance go up

As far as the mortgage crises, like anything else in life read the fine print…
The mistake was those that believed that interest rates would not rise and that their mortgage would stay the same for the next thirty years…do the math.

Start standing for something and fstop falling for everything.

HBCU’s were build for and by african americans in a time when we were discriminated against and was not able to attend any other college. Not because we did not make the grade but because we were not allowed or it be known(too many of us) to be smarter than our white counterparts.
Why now when we still say the first african american president elect, do you believe that we have overcome. To give up and give in to this would be totally ludicris. Has change will come but it hasn’t yet!!!

Well, as it’s said, “If it sounds too good to be true”! Just another way for Blacks to bbe scammed. Many didn’t know their interest rates or that their mortgages would be sold over and over. The American Dream has always been an American Nightmare for most Blacks!
