[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of these colleges are "where Black people go" so I'm guessing it's veiled racism[/quote]

So since it is a black college, you ignore the low score metrics?
That's racism.[/quote]

DP: Given that graduation rates correlated with low income and black students have a much higher chance of being low income, a basic analysis  should compare their performance to how black populations do at other schools.  It would be telling if the metrics were worse for an equivalent black student with the same SES level at a predominately white institution. My guess is that they wouldn't be so low with even the basic level of statistical controls.

Similarly with art schools--how do they compare with graduates of art majors at non-arts schools.[/quote]

The information posted above comparing Howard to University of Arizona seems to show that when comparing a PWI school to an HBCU with similar entrance criteria the outcome is almost identical.  It would be hard to compare some of the lower performing HBCUs against PWI institutions because there aren't that many PWI schools with equivalently low GPA/SAT entrance requirements. [/quote]
