I knew there were other ethnicities at HBCUs but not to the majority level. I do have a Caucasian friend whose equally Cauc. son applied (and was accepted to) Howard's Medical School. He ended up at GW's med school but seriously considered Howard's offer.
Are the other ethnicities that you mention in the majority when you add all 3 sectors together or do any of the ethnicities actually outnumber African-Americans individually? I know I can dig this up on a CDS somewhere but I thought you might know offhand.

Regarding single-sex schools: Hampden-Sydney and Wabash are the only all-male schools still operating as single-sex. I think Morehouse is officially all-male but from what I gather, there is a lot of cross-registration with Spelman so the classes are not truly one gender. H-S and W are both located in isolated areas where cross-registration is more difficult.
Women's colleges have also been closing or going coed over the decades because of declining enrollment. However Wellesley, Smith, and Mt. Holyoke are still extremely selective and are in no danger of having to refocus their single-sex education. Perhaps Sweet Briar and Hollins will have to merge at some point since they are basically competing for the same demographic of student and are not as selective. Actually I can see one of them merging with Hampden-Sydney before merging with the other.
