Conference: Complex Picture Painted of HBCU Challenges: While some leaders, meeting at a national HBCU conference, depicted their schools as lagging from unequal treatment by state governments, attendees representing HBCU land grant institutions heard tough talk Wednesday about the need to improve their competitiveness for federal program opportunities.
Panel discussions and workshops concluded the three-day National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) 38th National Dialogue on Blacks in Higher Education. The conference was themed “HBCUs & PBIs: Tooting Our Horns a Little Louder.”
