Non-HBCUs should also incorporate these principles and practices.

Individual benefits accruing to educated minorities are better health and increased economic power. Dr. Buck has a PhD and Masters in Education. Having taught at a HBCU, he has some insight into the structure and operations of HBCUs. Dr. Buck gives his views about education and the educational system. Faye Buck - Editor

Download or read book Comparing Engagement written by Christian A. Gamm and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined the relationship between African American student engagement and student background variables through the context of institution type. The study focused on the impact of student background variables (mother's level of education, father's level of education, enrollment status, sex, and grade point average) on student engagement, while taking into account institution types. Differences in engagement levels between different types of institutions were explored. Engagement variables were measured as benchmarks of effective educational practice gathered from the National Survey of Student Engagement. The results indicated that African American students had significantly higher grade point averages when attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as compared to African American students who attended Predominately White Institutions (PWIs). Additionally, institution type was found to be a significant predictor of all NSSE benchmark scores with the exception of Level of Academic Challenge. Enrollment status was found to be a significant predictor of all NSSE benchmark scores with the exception of Supportive Campus Environment, and grade point average was a significant predictor of all NSSE benchmark scores. Students at HBCUs scored reported significantly higher levels of student engagement on all NSSE benchmarks with the exception of Level of Academic Challenge when compared to students at PWIs. Surprisingly, no significant differences were found in institutional African American six year graduation rates when comparing students by institution type. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are also considered.

Download or read book The Chosen We written by Rachelle Winkle-Wagner and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chosen We elevates the oral histories of 105 accomplished, college-educated Black women who earned success despite experiencing reprehensible racist and sexist barriers. The central argument is that these women succeeded in and beyond college by developing a Chosen We—a community with one another. The book builds on their words and insights to offer a powerful rethinking of educational success that moves away from individualistic and competitive models and instead imagines success as a result of recognizing what people owe to one another. It also uncovers the importance of the type of institutions that students attend for higher education, comparing Black women's experiences not only by region and era but also by whether they attended a predominantly White institution (PWI) or a historically Black college or university (HBCU). The Chosen We features theoretical and methodological exemplars for how to conduct research across lines of difference. The Black women's oral histories shared here manifest the wisdom from which many groups in the United States might benefit—that liberation is only found through community.
