Jones argues that HBCUs must transcend their 'historically Black' designation by adopting a 'pan-Black' approach, which would enable greater connection and relevance to contemporary Black communities.
In his book, Jones emphasizes the need for a robust organizational culture in HBCUs, one that values transparency, communication, and accountability to better serve Black students and communities.
He criticizes the current state of HBCUs for their 'leadership crisis' marked by high turnover rates and poor relationships between administrators and boards, damaging the institutions' effectiveness.
The ideal Black college, according to Jones, should focus its research and curriculum on immediate improvements to Black communities rather than conforming to outside expectations or societal norms.
