With all this sudden pressure of many HBCU's losing their credit for being a school. I must ask where are our schools headed? Even my school.....the IVY league Harvard of HBCU's.... is falling downhill due to budget cuts and low funding from the government.... And with Bush in office...it seems like the government does not care about these colleges and Universities....(SHOWS THE HIDDEN RACISM) What do you all think> Will black schools be around 25 years from now? In my opinion...I only think a few will surive...sorry to say that.... but we as black people are loosing the battle of education at our own schools.... What are you all's opinion...

i don't think there will be as many black schools but the strong shall survive. i feel that people are finally, after over a century, beginning to see that black colleges are not a fad or a passing trend. they are important institutions of higher learning that contribute to the advancement of not just our people, but all people. with that said, i think that they will come out of their slump and become stronger.

I totally agree. We have got to work to keep our schools open not only for ourselves, but for all people. The legacy that our institutions have created must be preserved in order to teach future generations about the history and successess of our people in this country.

Howard and Bethune-Cookman get bookkooo money from the Feds. President Bush has been very supportive of HBCU's, through his commission and inflating the government through grants and contracts being made available. Now I may not like him, but I won't say that he's bringing down HBCU's; nor will I call him racist. Honestly, the root of the problem is our reliance on state and federal governments. Since our alumni giving rates are so low, corporations don't wish to invest in most of us. Some of the smaller HBCU's will catch a bad one, and I wish we could keep them all open. But if that school's alumni don't care about it, then why should anyone else?

If Bush was so damn supportive of HBCU's ... Why did Morris Brown close??? Why wasn't it helped by the government... Why did Bush state our schools are equal to a high school education? And why did the government cut alot of HBCU's funding.... Wake up Wild Coyote.....U might be slow and can't catch the road runner.....but I know u ain't that slow... Bush don't like your ****!!! It's just a political plot to make u think he like you...so he can get in office... Bush thinks u dumb..and by thinking that he supports HBCU's....makes u look dumb! NO OFFENSE... But wake up and smell the **** roses!!!
