HBCU Leaders Say They Should Share Their Campus Success Stories: HBCUs routinely get denigrated and their academic performance often gets unfairly judged, but that’s largely because leaders at the institutions have done a poor job of sharing their success stories with the public and the press.That was one of the major themes that emerged Thursday during a gathering of half a dozen HBCU presidents who assembled to discuss ways to counter the longstanding and lingering notion that their colleges and universities lack when it comes to essentiality.
“We have to better tell our own story,” said Dr. Mary Evans Sias, president of Kentucky State University.
“We have not been good at all in coming up with the narrative that explains what we do and what we do very well,” Sias said. “And shame on us for not doing that.”
