Yesterday we looked at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) and gave them an average rating of 6.7. Today we cover a small HBCU, less than 800 students, but with a lot of history. Rust College, originally Shaw University, was one of the first HBCUs established by Methodists and the...

Yesterday we reviewed the University of the Virgin Islands and it came in at an underwhelming average of 4.0, but based on only two votes. Now we turn to a heavy-hitter: Florida A&M University. One of the top in the nation by enrollment as well as prestige, FAMU has long been known both for the...

The last HBCU rated was Langston University of Oklahoma which received an average rating of 7. There are so many unique things about the University of the Virgin Islands, it is hard to find where to start. They are the only HBCU not in the continental US. The latest established HBCU--founded in...

The last HBCU rated was American Baptist College, the smallest HBCU but one that definitely punches above its weight in terms of prominent alumni. Its average score was 6.1. Hampton University is our next focus and has a long and proud tradition as being one of the first HBCUs established...

Really not sure we will get votes for this one but here goes. Also let me know if I shouldn't tag you on future posts. Yesterday we voted on North Carolina A&T and it received an average score of 8.7. This definitely will be a number to beat so we will see what the other top schools do in...

Since the Coli is tech and STEM heavy it seems only right to start off the series highlighting North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University aka NC A&T, the tech gem amongst the HBCUs.

I was reading this recent talk Henry Kissinger gave on his new book about leadership at the Council of Foreign Relations. Mostly to hear what his current read of the Ukraine situation is (basically Russia shot itself in the foot but a future state vision and de-escalation path are necessary)...

The 2022 NAEP long-term measurements of performance from 2020 to 2022 are jarring. It will take years to recover and the negative effects on skills, earnings, and GDP are probably baked in for a lot of kids, disproportionately those in our community...
