How important is it to have only Black professors @ HBCUs?
How important is it to have tenured Black professors @ HBCUs?
Is it important enough that Black schools would openly and illegally deny qualified applicants?
I've never attended an HBCU so I have no perspective on this. But, if qualified applicants cannot be found, why should the students be denied a teacher?
And why, would these schools risk the threat of million-dollar lawsuits?

StraightBos good questions and I totally agree with the thought, however that same question can be reversed to some of the pwi ...The HBCU's in the state of MS won a lawsuit called the Ayers case (it was a case that involved the unequal distribution of money to the colleges and universities in the state of MS ...pwi got more money...you get the picture)but that money has yet to be distributed...It's all politics.... why should ANYONE be denied the right to go to a univ/college and recieve a good education blk or white? Notice that our TOP notch students and atheletes(esp.) are recruited to PWI usu. to fill a quota, is that in your best interest or do they really want you to go there?
CT4 with much respect, you said you didn't go to a HBCU ....because you wanted a view from a different perspective...I hear this comment ALOT ...college life whether it is a blk/whte one (university) IS a different perspective...Some people believe that HBCU's are just another group of blk folks with no diversity and it's simply not true! NONE of my instructors were BLACK and my BLACK brothers/sisters did NOT hook a sista up either! I had to work! They were harder on me than the PWI I went to after my 1st B.S.. Even I thought that a PWI would introduce me to more cultures but in fact I met more BLACK folks...not that I tried either....I would not give ONE day up for my beloved ALCORN for any PWI I went to there is no experience like it....If blks would concentrate on putting our resources back into our HBCU's like the PWI's we would attract more of them as well.
