INTRODUCTION This 1989 UNCFStatistical Report is the annual update of statistical informationabout themember institutions of the UnitedNegro College Fund, Inc. This editionon the Report contains information about the 42 institutions that weremembers of UNCF in fall, 3988. Since themerger (in July, 1989) of Atlanta University and ClarkCollege intoa single institution (Clark-AtlantaUniversity), there arenow 41 institutions which comprise the membershipof UNCF. All areprivate independent institutions and all are accredited byeither the Southern Association of Colleges and Schoolsor the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Most of the colleges are located in the southeast: seven in Georgia, six inNorth Carolina, five each in Alabama and Texas, and four each in South Carolina and Tennessee, three in Florida, two each in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia, and one each in Arkansas and Ohio. Except for Wilberforce which was founded in 1856 and the I.T.C., whichwas formed in 1958 bymerging a number of smaller theological schools, almost all the member institutionswere founded during the 35 year periodfollowing the end of the Civil War. The 41 UNCF colleges are partof a largergroup of 104 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). As of 1987 these institutions enrolledone out of six blacks in higher education; however, theHBCUs enrolled about one of three black students enrolled in four-year colleges. (About 43 percent of all black studentsare enrolled in two-year colleges; most of these institutions are not classified as historically black.) Most of the data inthe Report was supplied by the colleges in response to a detailed questionnaire. Enrollment figures for 1989 were supplied by the college registrars through a telephone survey; in some cases the data for 1989 ispreliminary data and may change slightly when complete information is available. This year's report is presented at a timewhen there is growing national concern about educational outcomes--particularly for blacks. Consider the following facts drawn from the U.S. Department of Education's 1988 Digest of Education Statistics. Although blacks comprised 16
