The decline in Black male enrollment at HBCUs highlights a troubling trend; in 2022, they constituted only 26% of the student population, a significant drop from the 38% in 1976.
Richard Reeves stated that although there are 'some signs of hope' with a slight increase post-COVID, the overall trend for Black men's enrollment at HBCUs over decades is worrisome.
Out of 101 HBCUs surveyed, only 20 had a Black male composition of over 40%, primarily small private colleges, indicating a stark underrepresentation in larger institutions.
The alarming findings from the American Institute for Boys and Men underline the critical role HBCUs play in fostering economic mobility and leadership opportunities for Black men.
