I was curious (being from Ohio originally), so I googled Central State, and they appear to still be in business.

At least their webpage talks about their upcoming commencement in May, 2008.

Barber-Scotia is operating again (after a suspension of operation for a few years), but with a much reduced program and a focused track. I think there are only 20 or 30 students there right now, and I think that the faculty may all be ministers (it's a Presbyterian school) volunteering their time. The school is definitely in rebuilding mode.

It's still open but whether it is educating minds will depend on who you ask.

I think it is time that not only the HBC and Womens only school are coming to the realization that it must take whites or males to hopefullu survive.

Some have cpme to the realization it cannot be just one way or the other!

That is what is so upsetting when some complain that HWGlos come to a campus.

There must be a reason. Either open up and be more acceptable or die.

Not every school of HBC is a Grambling type.

Tom.....friend..... white students are allowed at HBCUs, and in at least three cases, they are in the majority.

Black-only clauses?

There have been white students at HBCUs forever. LOL.

And the HBCUs that have allowed HWGLOs on campus were never in trouble of dying out (NC A&T, Howard, etc.). There are white students at these HBCUs but the demand for the HWGLOs was from the university system and the black students.

Especially when you get to graduate and law school levels. The black students are minority and the white, Asian, and East Indian students are the majority.

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.

Does that change their funding status? Does the UNCF and other organizations support this school despite the fact that less than 40% of the student population is Black/Non-Hispanic? Do alumni/ae support a school that has changed so much?

I know many women who graduated from institutions that were single-sex at the time but are now coed. These alumnae are 50-50 in terms of supporting their alma maters financially or otherwise. The women who don't donate to their alma mater specifically do not donate because they did not agree with their colleges' decisions to go co-ed. The women who do donate regard the college decision as a necessary move to remain competitive.

Glug glug glug.

Pharmacy, agriculture, and architecture are among the programs at most HBCUs that have white students as a majority.

Texas Southern University in Houston, TX has had a real problem with getting responsible administrative leadership. I would not be surprised to hear at some point that they do have to close. They are right across the street from the University of Houston, and the administrative scandals (and the problems with the pharmacy program) have really tarnished their reputation.
