#HBCUs enroll 9% of Black undergrads, yet award 18% of the STEM BS degrees (in some disciplines like physics, math etc much more). Despite that we expect that they miraculously make up for all that PWIs DON'T get right when educating Black STEM students. @HBCUDigest @The107_hbcu
Furthermore, we want to criticize and marginalize #HBCUs for what they don't do enough of and not even hold PWIs accountable for their failures. On top of that we want to tell Black students that #HBCUs are not competitive. @HBCUDigest @The107_hbcu
Yet, #HBCUs are the top producers of future PhDs, MDs lawyers etc. Just look at the NSF NCSES data to see the numbers. Why do we give PWIs a pass and NOT support #HBCUs? @HBCUDigest @The107_hbcu And yes, I know, there are things #HBCUs could do better. No need to point that out
