“…In terms of earnings and wages, while at least one analysis postulates a penalty for HBCU attendance (Fryer and Greenstone 2010), other evidence suggests no difference in earnings potential (Kim 2011) or even a benefit (Mykerezi and Mills 2008;Price et al 2011). On account of these figures and others like them, HBCUs have been deemed responsible for creating the black middle class (Drewry and Doermann 2001).…”

This conceptual study builds an institution-focused, non-Eurocentric, theoretical framework of black college student success. Specifically, the study synthesizes the relevant empirical research on the contributions historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have made for black student success, leading to an original model that all institutions can adapt to their contexts. Significantly, this is the first HBCU-based theoretical model to appear in the academic literature. The study concludes with several implications for research and practice, including testing the model and using it in institutional planning.

“…They are convinced that their data demonstrate that now "by some measures HBCU attendance appears to retard black progress" (U.S. Commission on Civil Rights 2010:126). These arguments, however, have been challenged and contradicted (Price et al 2011;Constantine 1995).…”

This essay critiques mismatch theory in science education, a theory supported by opponents of affirmative action who strive to derail efforts to diversify institutions of higher education. Can high-achieving students survive and thrive in an academic environment dominated by their super high-achieving peers? Our research suggests that while there are a variety of nuanced factors that impact an undergraduate's success in certain majors, students of all backgrounds can excel at highly selective universities, given the proper resources and support.

“…Ceteris paribus, Black universities are more successful on average than other universities at graduating students (Ryan, 2004;Webber & Ehrenberg, 2010). Previous studies investigating labour market outcomes for Black universities' graduates had been mixed (Allen, 1992;Constantine, 1995;Strayhorn, 2008), but Price, Swinton, and Swinton (2011) showed that Black universities' graduates do enjoy a statistically significant earnings premium when selection issues are addressed. Black universities have been particularly successful in the sciences, having awarded more than 33 per cent of the science and engineering degrees earned by Black graduates nationally (Congressional Research Service, 2008).…”

Historically Black colleges and universities and resource dependence: a Chow test of production functions

While several studies have examined the impact of expenditures on graduation rates in higher education institutions, historically Black colleges and universities have strong government dependencies that suggest that these links might be different than for other universities. This paper investigates these links by estimating the production function of a subset of a large panel of 4-year institutions and uses a Chow test to find structural differences in production functions of Black universities and other universities. The analysis finds significant structural differences, notably that administrative expenditures have a significantly negative impact on graduation rates at Black universities. The findings suggest that the need to examine administrative frameworks and to diversify resource streams at Black universities is pressing. Using resource dependence theory, this paper concludes with a discussion about how these universities might mitigate the negative effects of government resource dependence.
