I work in higher ed. I worked at very expensive pwi's and state funded Hbcus.

Unfortunately, most of the leaders at HBCU's are PhD's who can recite all types of academic nonsense but can't rub two pennies together.

Where at the PWI's, ex ceo's are brought in to craft majors that draw big dollars and big donors.

HBCU's still serve a real purpose. But the leaders need to step into the 21st century, get off the government titty of grants and shift their majors to serve the consumer realities of black economics (ie Fashion, sports, health, music, television)

We always try to follow behind whitey and get into Silicon valley or Wall street. We don't need to go down that road.
