In 2014, Alabama PHC had an overall placement rate of 90.2%. The African American PNM placement rate was 100%. In 215, the overall PHC placement rate went up to 92.5% while the African American PNM placement rate fell to 73.5%.
Is that an alarming trend? Maybe. Maybe not. That AA PNM sample size is just too small (21 in 2014, 34 in 2015) to really tell a story. A handful of PNMs dropping out or not getting placed skews the stats way too much because it's such a small pool.
However, the real story is that in the past two years 46 African American women found a home in an NPC sorority at Alabama. That is a move in the right direction.
