Boston.com / News / Nation / Washington / Whites are a growing minority on black campuses: "Increasingly, white students are enrolling at the nation's 120 historically black colleges and universities, changing the landscape of institutions created when African-Americans were barred from attending most colleges.
In the past quarter-century, the number of white students at these campuses has risen 65 percent, from 21,000 to nearly 35,000 -- an increase driven partly by court orders aimed at desegregation and partly by interest in programs that these schools offer.
Some, such as West Virginia State University and Lincoln University in Missouri, are now majority white. Others, struggling to meet court mandates for more white students, use scant scholarship money to attract students from as far as Russia."

When I was at Howard a million years ago in the 80's it was a well kept secret that school of Pharmacy provided one of the better degree programs in the country... and it was more cost effective... and it was much easier to get into. Looks like the trend is expanding. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I will say I find it ironic that black students are voicing the same concerns that whites used at the beginning of desegregation. Can't "speak freely?"... oy - Barry
