Book excerpt: The Black College and University Act defined an historically black college and university (HBCU) as one that existed before 1964 with a historic and contemporary mission of educating blacks while being open to all. An HBCU must either have earned accreditation from a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association or be making reasonable progress toward accreditation. Currently, 103 HBCUs are located mainly in the Southeastern United States, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights conducted a briefing on May 5, 2006, to assess the educational effectiveness of HBCUs. The Commission invited five distinguished panelists to discuss the issue: Louis W. Sullivan, founding dean and first president of Morehouse School of Medicine, as well as a presidential advisor and former cabinet secretary; Earl S. Richardson, president of Morgan State University and a former presidential advisor on Historically Black Colleges and Universities; Jamie P. Merisotis, president of the Institute for Higher Education Policy; Raymond C. Pierce, dean and professor of law at North Carolina Central University and a former deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Education; and Mikyong Minsun Kim, associate professor at the George Washington University's Graduate School of Education and Human Development. After the briefing, Commissioners offered two articles to help provide the reader with a richer understanding of the subject because policymakers should base conclusions about the efficacy of HBCUs in educating black students as compared to non-HBCUs on stronger evidence than mere public support. In both studies the researchers rely on extensive empirical data to reach their conclusions. The two articles are reproduced at the end of this report and cast some additional light on the briefing topic. In the briefing session, Dr. Sullivan stated that for some young African-Americans the development that occurs at HBCUs might have a profound influence on their lives. Dr. Richardson indicated that after the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (CRA) and initial federal enforcement in the early 1970s, questions arose about the future role of HBCUs in contemporary higher education. Mr. Merisotis said that a 2004-2005 national survey of student engagement found that, compared to African-American students enrolled in "predominantly white institutions," those attending HBCUs reported more interactions with faculty members. Dean Pierce stated that HBCUs continue to educate large numbers of African-Americans effectively, thus contributing to the nation's need for a learned population and skilled workforce. In her turn to speak, Dr. Kim first provided some characteristics about HBCUs and their students. Individual articles contain figures, tables, appendices, notes, and references. (Contains 274 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the 1830s, public and private higher education institutions established to serve African-Americans operated in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Border States, and the states of the old Confederacy. Until recently the vast majority of people of African descent who received post-secondary education in the United States did so in historically black institutions. Spurred on by financial and accreditation issues, litigation to assure compliance with court decisions, equal higher education opportunity for all citizens, and the role of race in admissions decisions, interest in the role, accomplishments, and future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities has been renewed. This volume touches upon these issues. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are a diverse group of 105 institutions. They vary in size from several hundred students to over 10,000. Prior to Brown v. Board of Education, 90 percent of African-American postsecondary students were enrolled in HBCUs. Currently the 105 HBCUs account for 3 percent of the nation's educational institutions, but they graduate about one-quarter of African-Americans receiving college degrees. The competition that HBCUs currently face in attracting and educating African-American and other students presents both challenges and opportunities. Despite the fact that numerous studies have found that HBCUs are more effective at retaining and graduating African-American students than predominately white colleges, HBCUs have serious detractors. Perhaps because of the increasing pressures on state governments to assure that public HBCUs receive comparable funding and provide programs that will attract a broader student population, several public HBCUs no longer serve primarily African-American students. There is reason to believe, and it is the opinion of several contributors to this book, that in the changing higher education environment HBCUs will not survive, particularly those that are
