African Americans' College Enrollment
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research proposal seeking to determine why more African American students do not seek college admission. Black and white Americans enjoyed momentary equality in terms of enrollment in colleges and universities in 1976. That equality was short lived as disparities grew until 1982, when the racial gap between African American and white students grew to 10 percent. All college enrollment has increased in recent years; African American students have made the greatest gains among minority students. By 2003, the racial gap had declined to less than 8 percent and 54.8 percent of all African American students completing high school entered college during their first year after high school. There is some evidence that the state of the national economy may be a predictor of African American college enrollment, but there is also evidence that African American students are discouraged from attending college in the form of negative messages regarding likelihood of success. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Includes an abstract.

American Colleges Should Rank Themselves.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Current college accreditation methods must
change. College accreditation started off with
the right idea, but now college ivy now hides its
original goal and clouds an educational
institution's mission statement as well as its
methods towards accomplishing its perceived goals.
Part of this murkiness is that the evaluation team
or accreditors evaluate a college based on
collegiality and assistance, avoiding all hint of
comparisons among supposed equals. Comparisons of
multiple factors are necessary if parents and
students are to base their educational needs on
informed choices. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
