Comment on Jail vs. college debate by LeFrancais

In poor urban,suburban areas I guess that it might have been a good way to reduce inequality, criminality, poverty etc : more more credits for education, schools, colleges, and then job opportunities in the future.
I suppose that the government chose the less expensive way, ’cause unfortunately & seemingly (for short sighted leaders) it is far more expensive to manage poor people with education than with prison. A question of money, as often…..

Comment on The role and relevance of HBCUs by Mini

Hello All,
This has been an outstanding discussion. I enjoyed reading all the posts. Many HBCUs at the bottom of the barrel signify the “ghettoization” of higher education in the US. The open enrollment policy allows students even with GPAs as low as 2.0 to attend college, the low levels of student academic achievement promotes the dumbing down of all educational material, many of the faculty are not qualified to teach their disciplines and some have doctorates from highly questionable institutions. The buildings where classes are held remind me of third world conditions with broken windows, leaky, dysfunctional bathrooms and classrooms that often suffer from lack of chalk! Are these HBCUs doing a service or harm to students that graduate from here, since few students go to graduate or professional school but end up as waiters and car wash mechanics? A college education from HBCUs such as these only perpetuates the ghetto mentality, how can we get students to the next level? Yes, I agree that if it had not been for these HBCUs, many of the students would be either on the streets or in prison, but then should we call these HBCUs academic institutions or social service organizations? We are comparing apples to oranges when we talk of all HBCUs in one breath….clearly some are holding pens for keeping youth out of trouble and others are academic institutions.

Yes, and he was also a very active member of Princeton’s chapter of the NAACP. He hated discrimination of any kind! :] Go Einstein!

i think it is a curious thing that you stated the debate over whether the fact is true or not is distracting from the more relevant conversation of why so many blacks are incarcerated…but you made no subsequent discussion along those lines?
