Is this just gross incompetence from administration or is it time to recognize that they are no longer a necessary part of our society?

My uninformed analysis:
Enrollment at these schools is dropping like a rock. And that leads to a death spiral.
Enrollment drops => school loses tuition revenue => school raises tuition to make up shortfall => students can't afford new tuition => enrollment drops further.


Black students today have more options and opportunities than they did in years past. There are no longer racial barriers to enter other universities.

So is there really a need to have as many HBCUs as we do? Sure some should remain because they offer a unique experience.
But in my opinion, there are way too many HBCUs that are stretched way too thin and as a result offer lower quality educations than they should


I mean, look at all these schools. With all the competition out there, there's not enough black students to go around.
