The financial restriction of black universities historically in the United States

Throughout the twentieth century and beyond, the record of colleges and universities that have been created to provide higher education opportunities for black students in the United States. Their mission was to produce scientists to create economic, social and political freedom for African Americans. However, in nearly 200 years since the historical black colleges and universities (HBCUS) opened its doors, blacks in the country still have not achieved economic equality with white people.

However, this failure cannot be placed at the feet of the leadership of black universities. No strategy could publish a difference. The suppression of the American -African achievement was intended and systematic. This happened because many of those who control white society (especially in the previous Confederation countries) never want African Americans or their institutions to achieve social equality¹ – I claim that this is not a priority for the second administration of US President Donald Trump as well. This does not mean that all white people are elements: in fact, many have played an active role in combating structural racism. However, the majority have either bought or unwilling to take measures against a social and political system and still deny opportunities for African Americans.².

For most of the twentieth century, the majority of this inferior group of African people accepted as a socially agreed “fact”. This allowed strong institutions to discriminate against African Americans. For example, Redlining, which occurred between 1934 and 1968, became a wide practice in the United States to reject loans and housing for African Americans, and this led to various capabilities to collect wealth. Today, to a large extent to such policies, the average wealth of white families is about 6.5 times from American -African families³.

Historical inequality in black education

I reviewed the history of American -African higher education in the context of evolutionary sciences⁴But the basic details of the story are the same through scientific disciplines. The second land grant law, which was launched in 1890, established 19 HBCU in the southern United States to provide opportunities for black students. But these institutions and institutions of the Morrill Land-Grant 1862, which taught white students, have never been funded (see “HBCUS: A History of Underfunding”).

In comparison with the counterparts of their historical white institution (HWI), HBCUS recognizes an inappropriate share of students from stalled educational areas, and as a result of historical inequality in primary and secondary education in the country. However, the state’s allocations to HWIS are greater than those that reach HBCUS in the southern United States. For example, in 2021-1022, the allocation of the state budget for every university student at North Carolina University (Northy Carolina) (NCSU), HWI in a rally, $ 35,513 per student, but in my institution, North Carolina State University (NCATSU) was in Greensbalo, HBCU, $ 19,083. This means that for every dollar spent on a student in NCatsu, $ 1.86 is spent on a student in NCSU.

This situation is common throughout the southeastern United States, as is documented in the 2023 report on the case of HBCUS⁵ From The Security Foundation, a research tank in New York City. Between 1987 and 2020, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Tixas HBCU did not reduce $ 8.5 billion compared to HWIS, according to messages to the province of these states, which he sent in September 2023 by Miguel Cardona, Minister of Education and Thomas Filsk, Minister of Agriculture. NCSU and NCatsu have a One letter from the variation of financing of $ 2 billion said,. The federal government has never forced states to finance white and black higher black education frequently, and has never denied the money for countries that continue to be discriminatory financing practices.

This historical financing has produced an environment that HCBU teaching staff must bear inappropriately heavy teaching loads, and to advise more students-many of whom are not ready-and work in inappropriate facilities for education and research in the twenty-first century in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). HBCUS works on nutrition budgets, so they have less resources for research, teaching, students and community programs. Due to the budget age, HBCus officials often have to delay the purchase or repair of technology and infrastructure that affects the need. For example, in January 2024, the Central Heating Factory in NCATSU failed, so the institution had to house students in hotels or send them home.
