The True Spirit of Black History Month

From 1st through 5th grade, I attended St. Mark’s Roman Catholic School in Harlem, New York. At this predominately Black school, Black History Month was celebrated regularly and fully. At St. Mark’s (and many other schools in Harlem at that time), Black History Month was when Black history “decorations” (i.e. posters, timelines, special calendars and other informational décor) were brought out and hung on walls throughout the school.

One Size Does Not Fit All: Bennett’s Accreditation Problem

One size does not fit all, and the Bennett College story proves it. A recent study found that Bennett ranked 30th out of 578 private colleges in the likelihood that an attending student would move up two or more income quintiles. This social mobility feat is possible because Bennett admits and enrolls more poor students than many other SACSCOC institutions. Thus, the college’s financial stability should not be measured with the same yardstick as institutions with more affluent students and alumni. Bennett’s story demonstrates the time is ripe to examine the accrediting processes of our nation’s colleges and universities. We need commissions whose governing boards reflect the institutions governed.

Grambling State University: Where Students Are CELEBRATED, Not Tolerated

About 5 years ago, researchers studying Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) concluded that enrollment among Black students at these institutions was on the decline. In fact, a report released by the Center for Minority Serving Institutions (CMSI) at the University of Pennsylvania revealed that since the 1980s, the number of Black students enrolling at HBCUs had steadily decreased while the population of non-Black students gradually increased.
