Ability to attract students is a
mark of a healthy college or univer
sity.
That being so, the nation’s pre
dominantly black private colleges
and universities are very healthy.
Consider: Enrollment at the 41
schools in the United Negro College
Fund network grew by 7.5 per cent
between 1975 and 1976, compared
to only 1.9 per cent growth at pri
vate colleges and universities na
tionally .
But that’s not all.
Measured another way, growth
included a tenfold increase in the
number of whites studying at the
predominantly black Negro College
Fund schools between 1969 and
1975.
Alan Kirschner, the fund’s direc
tor of research, says his new na
tional survey of the colleges, shows
them stronger than ever.
This is contrary to predictions
that they would die out when black
students in the 1960s and early
1970s began to enroll in large num
bers in predominantly white col
leges and universities.
“Along with the growth of their
student population,” Krischner
said, “the schools have diversified
their curricula to meet the newer
distribution of professional job op
portunities for blacks.
“More than 17 per cent of all de
grees awarded at Negro College
nx:

All Trod Aooie Gwem
Fund schools in 1975 were in busi
ness administration, roughly twice
the percentage earned in 1970.
“Twenty-one of the colleges now
offer dual-degree engineering pro
grams. Ten years ago, none confer
red engineering degrees.
“In 1970 only two of the schools
offered degrees in the health profes
sions, compared with 1975 when 14
institutions awarded 213 degrees in
health care.”
Commenting on these trends,
Morris B. Abram, chairman of the
United Negro College Fund and
former president of Brandeis Uni
versity, said:
“Government and industry are
seeking qualified minority experts
in specialized fields, such as
engineering and business which
were formerly closed to blacks.
“Recognizing this, our students
are choosing courses of study with
practical applications and fewer stu
dents are graduating in the more
traditional majors, such as teaching,
where the job market has dried up .”
The survey also showed that the
student-faculty ratio is higher at the
United Negro College Fund schools
than at other private colleges and
universities nationally.
The Negro College Fund schools
have one faculty member for every
14.1 students. The average national
ly; one for 16.4 students.
One thing the schools have in
common with all others: financial
problems. The survey showed ex
penditures going up faster than in
come.
Between 1971 and 1975, total
revenues increased by 32.6 per cent
Expenditures went up 37.3 per
cent.
