A Rationale for Increasing Funding for HBCUs
Chalokwu, Christopher I.
Black Issues in Higher Education, v20 n23 p98 Jan 2004
This article argues strong affirmative action for HBCUs involving federal R&D funds and congressional earmarks is needed. Members of Congress must recognize the essential role HBCUs have played in providing educational opportunities for African Americans and economically marginalized White Americans. The "No Child Left Behind" slogan for K-12 should be extended to include "No African American College Student Left Behind." This article presents the key factors supporting this argument.
