CNN.com - Georgia's only black engineering program set to close - Oct 28, 2005: "Yemaya Stallworth came to Clark Atlanta University to get an engineering degree at a school where her teachers and classmates looked like her: black.

But that option may soon disappear -- if not for her, then for the students who come after her.

The historically black university has decided to eliminate the engineering department in May 2008 as part of a cost-cutting move at financially troubled Clark Atlanta. The department is Georgia's only black engineering program."
