Yeah, but which universities do you have in mind? You haven't fully answered the question. Can you really accuse the University of Maryland-College Park of being racist in their admission policies if the racial percentages of the student body mirror that of the state's population? Yet, what happens when the public institution is also a very comeptitive one such as UCLA and UC-Bekeley?

>>White Universities have these same requirements, especially concerning freshman, or sophmore year! All my friends at White Universities have these same complaints, so that has nothing to do with HBCU's! You can't put that on black colleges! You can't base your opinion on just your own black college.

Base of opinion? You misread the question, that wasn't targeted at either type of school. it was to see if you agreed that the curriculums at some schools are outdated.

Check these 2 key words in ya statement: "2% Black" and "11% other"

Those schools that you say have the "2% Black" also seem to have 11% Asian(or some higher percentage number) in their student populations. Are you saying that these school are less diverse because they have lesser percentages of Blacks? Also, like I stated earlier, these schools also have higher academic standards than most universities and they are private, which means that they're not cheap and affordable either.

Go to any nedia outlet and ask about The University of Missouri-Columbia. They'll vouche I'm sure for the numbers of journalists amd journalism professionals that we produce. Hell, you see 3 of our alums on CNN on any given day.

That was the whole point of this post!!! The thinking you're implying now is that the "elite" HBCUs can survive w/o the other HBCUs. I'm asking y'all to look at the two as groups and not on an individual basis. Frankly, they should be.
