HBCUs are struggling to survive

This coming from an African

Ironic aint it lol.

It was cheaper for me to stay at home and commute to a non hbc than to go out of state.

All my classmates that went to hbc's left after a year or two because they said he schools were trash. That's coming from people that grew up in the north.

If its not Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, Xavier, or maybe Hampton then don't even bother IMO.

I get what you're trying to say but the list is longer than that.....

 

[s3ven_LvLs]

Man I hate to say it cause there's already enrollment issues but alot of HBCU negative image probably comes from there admission standards. Some people that get in don't belong or just come to do the wrong thing .

Yeah. Graduated from Jackson State and I tell alot of people down here that are interested in going that they will let almost anybody in to get an education.

However, if you want to graduate you are going to have to actually do work.

Especially if it is in a bio/chemistry/engineering degree.

FAMU will be FSU south soon

You mean like FSU appropriating FAMU's land? Tallahassee would burn before that happened.

Bullshyt, I went to an HBCU and I am pretty successful. It's how you apply yourself, there are people that graduated from MIT, CAL TECH, PENN; top notch school, who are unemployed. The enrollment has dropped down since the integration; if you took time to read the article "Historically black colleges once were the only option for most black students, who made up almost 100 percent of their enrollment in 1950. That began to change in the 1960s, as many doors that once were shut to blacks were opened." Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 was implemented in 1954, and that is why HBCU went down; because blacks said to themselves these negro schools aint shyt, we need the white man's (acceptance) books to be smart.

Also with that integration brought excellent athletes, which brings forth money to the white schools. David "Deacon" Jones Mississippi Valley State University, Jerry Rice Mississippi Valley State University, Shannon Sharpe Savannah State University, Walter Payton Jackson State, Doug Williams Grambling State, Steve McNair Alcorn State University , Donald Driver Alcorn State University & etc. All went to HBCU and the white schools knew they needed those bodies (slavery) to make entertainment for their school.

A lot of excellent black players in the south had to go to HBCU because the white institutions did not allow them. The only schools which alowed blacks were up North and the West.

It was not until 1970 when USC beat the shyt out of . Alabama with Sam "Bam" Cunningham, Southen Colleges integrated and that was the start of the downfall of HBCU.







I can agree with that

I don't know why or how you got away with saying this dumb shyt.

Where you go to school DOES matter in life and lying about it doesn't help anyone.

Elite jobs get elite recognition.

This is not true. I know a chick who goes to an HBCU w/o an accredited engineering program who still managed to get a decent engineering gig. I know another guy who went to Howard who isn't even a citizen and Microsoft was bending over backwards to try and find some position for him.



This is true. I got a bro that graduated from Yale who's currently unemployed.

in fact i think as a black person going to an hbcu you are more likely to get an unemployed by a top company than at a pwi, because you are competing against other races. When companies look for diversity they go to an hbcu

The higher-ups at the HBCUs have been caught stealing funds. It's been documented several times.

 

[DrX]

integration destroyed black schools

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

This is what I've heard from students that go to hbcu's I live in va and we have several here

Virginia union
Hampton university
Norfolk state
Virginia state

It's no mystery that some places look down on hbcu's. Of course they can't straight out say hey u went to an hbcu we don't want u here.

Ain't nobody saying that u can't get a great job with it but places are starting to shyt on hbcu students.

-so from "students" not actual Hiring Managers from corporations?

[Carter G. Hoodson]

They no longer reflect out struggle. These HBCU's been sold at.
