African-American Presidents of White Colleges and Universities.
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n28 p94-97 Sum 2000
Of the 2,000 predominantly white four-year U.S. colleges, only two-tenths of one percent have African American presidents. This article lists the African Americans currently serving as presidents of predominantly white four-year institutions, including information on when they were appointed and their educational backgrounds. A sidebar discusses why so few blacks are named president of white institutions. (SM)
