re: Have historically black colleges outlived their purpose?

I agree most of them should be shut down, but aren't a few of them, like Spellman and Howard, fairly respected Universities nationally?

I’d assume that’s true, just based on the law of averages. If any historically black school is providing an educational service that’s not easily duplicated in its region / area, it should be funded to continuance.

The thread title called out historically black colleges, but IMO, it could have just as easily said “colleges that duplicate (comparitively poorly) services”.

The difference between those schools and the ones that are historically black is that one set was created to segregate students based on skin color, and that’s the difference that I think continues to promote a segregated society.
