What Can Historically Black Colleges and Universities Teach about Improving Higher Education Outcomes for Black Students?
比较了历史黑人学院和大学（HBCU）与非HBCU中黑人学生在毕业、工作满意度、社会流动性等方面的表现，发现HBCU资源有限但成效显著，并探讨了其成功原因及对政策的启示。
Historically Black colleges and universities are institutions that were established prior to 1964 with the principal mission of educating Black Americans. In this essay, we focus on two main issues. We start by examining how Black College students perform across HBCUs and non-HBCUs by looking at a relatively broad range of outcomes, including college and graduate school completion, job satisfaction, social mobility, civic engagement, and health. HBCUs punch significantly above their weight, especially considering their significant lack of resources. We then turn to the potential causes of these differences and provide a glimpse into the “secret sauce” of HBCUs. We conclude with potential implications for HBCU and non-HBCU policy.
