Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Education of Marginalized Populations

Abstract

This chapter highlights the challenges that confront HBCUs in enhancement of student success and reduction of the achievement gap among Black students. There is also a focus on institution-centric factors related to administrative structure, leadership, governance, accountability and transparency, management of external relationships with stakeholders, internal culture and politics, among others. HBCU leaderships and stakeholders must implement fundamental changes to remain relevant and survive.
