Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This qualitative study explored counselor educators' perceptions of Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP) at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Specifically, this study investigated the barriers for seeking, maintaining, and/or achieving CACREP accreditation. The researcher utilized in-depth, individual interviews and biographical questionnaires. The sample comprised 14 HBCU counselor educators (i.e. 9 females and 5 males) at both CACREP accredited and non-CACREP accredited institutions. Three major themes emerged from participant responses: (a) resources needed to obtain and maintain CACREP accreditation, (b) multiple interpretations of requirements, and (c) validation received from having CACREP accreditation. Practical applications for counselor educators and recommendations for future research are included.

Book excerpt: African American students’ experiences in graduate programs at predominately White institutions (PWIs) have been explored in previous research. Said experiences were described using the following constructs: underrepresentation, invisibility, isolation, lack of support, and silence. There is minimal research that focuses on Black students’ experiences at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), where the environment was reported to be welcoming, nurturing, and supportive. This study adds to the literature by exploring the lived experiences of African American students in CACREP-accredited master’s counseling programs at HBCUs, with critical race theory (CRT) as the theoretical framework. After being identified as eligible based on a screening survey, semi-structured interviews and photovoice were implemented to allow space for the six participants to share their experiences. The following five themes and subthemes emerged from an analysis of their responses: relationship dynamics with the subthemes of representation, faculty, peers, and isolation; climate with the subthemes of program, HBCUs, and challenges; being Black; scholarship with the subthemes of CACREP and academic transactions; and COVID. Participants shared mostly positive experiences, noting the family feel of their programs, the pleasant relationships with their faculty, connectedness to their peers, and a sense of empowerment because of their Blackness. Implications for counselor educators suggest making the conscious effort to communicate in a timely manner, make students feel welcome, and teach from a multicultural lens.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge of accreditation in a modern educational environment faces such questions as how to keep an accrediting process which is independent of the government, which respects the diversity of institutions, which keeps the process open whereby institutions can set their own goals and missions and above all improve access to education for the masses and at the same time maintain the confidence of the general public that graduates measure up to the minimum levels of quality. In this volume, James Rogers discusses the current state of accreditation in the United States with special emphasis on historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Maxine Allen and John Austin assess the current status of HBCUs relative to accreditation. Howard Simmons focuses on the importance of blacks' participation in the accreditation process. In the appendix, Regina Norman presents a summary profile of the regional and specialized accreditation of HBCUs. Co-published with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the 1830s, public and private higher education institutions established to serve African-Americans operated in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Border States, and the states of the old Confederacy. Until recently the vast majority of people of African descent who received post-secondary education in the United States did so in historically black institutions. Spurred on by financial and accreditation issues, litigation to assure compliance with court decisions, equal higher education opportunity for all citizens, and the role of race in admissions decisions, interest in the role, accomplishments, and future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities has been renewed. This volume touches upon these issues. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are a diverse group of 105 institutions. They vary in size from several hundred students to over 10,000. Prior to Brown v. Board of Education, 90 percent of African-American postsecondary students were enrolled in HBCUs. Currently the 105 HBCUs account for 3 percent of the nation's educational institutions, but they graduate about one-quarter of African-Americans receiving college degrees. The competition that HBCUs currently face in attracting and educating African-American and other students presents both challenges and opportunities. Despite the fact that numerous studies have found that HBCUs are more effective at retaining and graduating African-American students than predominately white colleges, HBCUs have serious detractors. Perhaps because of the increasing pressures on state governments to assure that public HBCUs receive comparable funding and provide programs that will attract a broader student population, several public HBCUs no longer serve primarily African-American students. There is reason to believe, and it is the opinion of several contributors to this book, that in the changing higher education environment HBCUs will not survive, particularly those that are

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AbstractThe lack of African-American presence in teacher education programs in American's Predominately White Institutions (PWI) has not changed since the initial increase following Brown v. Board of Education, 1954 (National Council for Educational Statistics, 2011). Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to graduate over 80% of African-American teachers (National Council for Educational Statistics, 2011). Though racial disparities in education have been acknowledged (Anyon, 2005, Bell, 2004), the research into these disparities must move beyond individual factors of students that enroll in the programs, and move into an era of research that critiques the educational structures themselves. In higher education the teacher education programs PWIs and HBCUs are governed by the state which has increasingly mandated national educator preparation accreditation through the National Council of Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCATE). The accreditation process dictates the institutions program structures. This mixed methods research sought information on whether or not there were barriers in NCATE processes that imped the number of HBCUs that are accredited and the perceptions of NCATE at an HBCU. I used NCATE, National Council for Educational Statistic (NCES) data, and in-depth interviewing to conduct this study. The conclusions this study rendered included practical application for educator preparation programs at HBCUs, NCATE and recommendations for future research that could affect recruitment and retention of teachers of color is discussed.

This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are facing challenges to their continued existence on several fronts. One is fiscally, as federal funding for education has been cut and the responsibility for paying for higher education has been levied on students and parents. Another challenge is the amount of endowment dollars available to them and lastly, there are questions today as to if HBCUs are still needed in a society that has allowed African-Americans to attend Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). The third are the challenges placed on institutions, as a whole, and specific departments, in attaining and maintain accreditation. Finally, how are administrators handling these challenges during the pandemic and their own health and well-being? This book explores journalism accreditation at HBCUs and is informed by many years of research into how journalism units have acquired and lost accreditation. The book also examines Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) and how they are navigating accreditation and financial challenges. The book will be of interest to faculty, students, scholars and administrators of journalism studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically Black colleges and universities play a vital role in the education of African Americans in the United States. For nearly 150 years, these institutions have trained the leadership of the Black community, graduating the nation s African American teachers, doctors, lawyers, and scientists. Despite the wealth of new research on Black colleges, there are topics that remain untouched and accomplishments that go unnoticed by the scholarly community. The chapters in this edited volume focus on topics that deserve further attention and that will push students, scholars, policymakers, and Black college administrators to reexamine their perspectives on and perceptions of Black colleges.

Book excerpt: Released in June, 2010, this publication features excerpts from presentations by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) trustees, chancellors and presidents as well as other education experts who candidly discuss issues surrounding accreditation at a unique meeting sponsored by the Southern Education Foundation. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) through its Commission on Colleges is the regional accrediting agency charged by the US Department of Education with responsibility to ensure that institutions of higher education in the South conform to prescribed standards. Only institutions which are accredited are eligible to receive federal student financial aid. This publication captures exchanges of ideas and information about matters such as Board/executive relations, financial management, policymaking and oversight strategies and is "must" reading for anyone who wants to learn about best practices in higher education governance and how accrediting agencies function. Because the South's 77 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) enroll such large numbers of aid-eligible students and usually have small endowments, maintenance of accreditation status is a key to institutional survival. Accreditation is a way of ensuring proper use of public resources, promote accountability, advance best practices, and promote quality student learning outcomes consistent with institutional mission. Appended are: (1) SACS Principles of Accreditation Related to Governance; (2) Biographies of Presenters, SEF Governance and Accreditation Seminar, June 2009; (3) List of Participants, SEF Governance and Accreditation Seminar, June 2009; and (4) SACS Accreditation Reaffirmation by Year for HBCUs in the Southeast Region, 2010-2019.
