Post Georgia To Increase Black Male Collegians

GEORGIA TO INCREASE BLACK MALE COLLEGIANS: Regents adopt a resolution to increase enrollment.

(May. 23, 2003) *The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Georgia state Board of Regents adopted a proposal designed to keep black men in high school and to steer them into college. The regents have appropriated $300,000 to implement the proposal which include recruiting more black male teachers and providing more support services. The Georgia university regents were prompted to act because of the dropping percentage of black males in the state’s high schools and colleges.

According to the Journal-Constitution, in 2001 only 20.8 percent of black male high school graduates went on to college.

“This is a problem that is not just an African-American problem, it’s a societal problem,” said Regent Elridge McMillan.

“It’s something that has a much broader impact on society,” Regent Hilton Howell, Jr. added noting that a high number of black males without high school diplomas increases the unemployment rate and poverty rate.
