For years, HBCU chaplains have played a critical role in nourishing students from entry to exit. The job has become a bit more difficult, in part because there has been an overall decline in the number of church-going college students in recent decades.

The Biggest Diversity Case in 2018 Could be the Biggest of 2019
The Harvard case, in which Asian Americans sued Harvard for discrimination, could determine access to higher education for all people of color for decades to come. It also easily defines where Asian Americans stand on diversity. And just who the good guys are, isn’t exactly clear at first.
