  • North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (Hbcus)
    Published on NCpedia (https://ncpedia.org) Home > North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) [1] Share it now! North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Prior to the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were enslaved persons living in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South with laws such as North Carolina's that prohibited teaching enslaved persons to read and write. It was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few schools dedicated to African American education in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1865. A number of institutions dedicated specifically for the education of African Americans were founded in the era immediately following the Civil War and others followed when segregation limited equal access to education. These schools are often known as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or "HBCUs". North Carolina has twelve historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 in Durham. Ten of these schools continue to operate today.

  • And As an Impetus to Organize and Synthesize Data That Suppore the Existence of These Insitutions
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 115 116 HE 007 101 AUTHOR Burghardt, B. Vivian TITLE Personal and Institutional Data of Institutional Research Activities and Products at Predominantly Black Institutions. PUB DATE May 74 NOTE 22p.; Paper presented at the Annual Forum of the Association for Institutional Research (May, 1974) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$1.58 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS Data Analysis; *Data Processing; Decisionmaking; Educational Accountability; *Higher Education; Information Systems; *Institutional Research; Management Development; *Negro Colleges ABSTRACT Recent trends indicate the increasing concern regarding the broad issue of accountability at institutions of higher education. Because of this, colleges and universities are being forced more and more to base their decisions on hard fact instead of intuition. The institutional research function is instrumental in assisting in this kind of data collection and analysis. To determine the extent to which predominantly Black colleges were fulfilling this function, a questionnaire was devised to solicit info,:mation regarding institutional activities and products at the predominantly Black colleges. An assessment of the institutional research activities and products at these colleges suggest that the growing complexities of management and the societal pressures for a greater degree of accountability in the last two decades serves as a mandate and as an impetus to organize and synthesize data that suppore the existence of these insitutions. This trend is in keeping with the national and local questions raised as to the quality and legitimacy of higher education in general.

  • NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES and UNIVERSITIES TIMELINE by Christine Alston, 2016
    NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TIMELINE by Christine Alston, 2016. NCpedia.org. Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Prior to the Civil War ending in 1865, there were only a handful of higher education institutions exclusively for African Americans. These institutions and the ones established after the Civil War ended are referred to as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It would be difficult to understand the creation of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) without understanding the social climate that led to its establishment. Prior to the Civil War ending in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were slaves in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South due to laws like the one in North Carolina that prohibited teaching slaves to read and write. It should be no surprise, then, that by the time the southern states seceded from the Union, it was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few HBCUs in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1895. Although the passing of the 13th Amendment gave slaves their freedom, it did not guarantee African Americans would receive fair treatment. In the South, there were “Black Codes” instituted where Southerners attempted to keep African Americans from enjoying the rights that they should have gained under the Constitution. It wasn’t until after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s that real progress was made towards ensuring equal access to education for all people.

  • 1 Key Statistics Regarding African American Males
    KEY STATISTICS REGARDING AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES ¾ 86 percent of black fourth graders cannot read at grade level. ¾ On average, African American and Hispanic 12th grade students read at approximately the same level as white eighth graders. ¾ The 12th grade reading scores of African American males were significantly lower than those for men and women across every other racial and ethnic group. ¾ Although they represent only 17.1 percent of public school students, in 2006 African American students accounted for 37.4 percent of total suspensions and 37.9 percent of total expulsions nationwide ¾ Only 41 percent of African American males graduate from high school in the United States. ¾ In 1995, 16 percent of African American males in their 20s who did not go to college were in jail; a decade later, it’s grown to 21 percent. ¾ The arrest rate among African American youth (ages 10-17) was nearly twice the rate of their white peers. ¾ Nationwide, young black offenders are more than twice as likely to be transferred to adult court than their white counterparts. ¾ Nearly 60 percent of young offenders serving time in adult state prisons are African American, although African Americans comprise only 15 percent of the youth population. ¾ Nationwide, 60 percent of the 2,380 offenders serving life without parole for crimes they were convicted of committing as children are African American. ¾ According to the Centers for Disease Control, homicide is the leading cause of death among African American males aged 15-34 years. ¾ According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics released in 2008, the homicide rate among Black males ages 10 to 24 is more than double that of Hispanic and White males in the same age group.
