Black-White Comparability in College Enrollment

Abstract

Students, manpower experts, and civil rights leaders now realize that black-white comparability in jobs and housing will never be realized until comparability in college enrollment and graduation for Negroes is achieved. The gap between the races in these areas is widening instead of narrowing, and labor force demands for college training are steadily increasing. Students trying to come to grips with this problem engage in counterproductive actions. A clear, comprehensive, and effective policy should be enunciated and carried out by leaders in government and education. This policy should be manpower-oriented and designed to increase the 300,000 Negro students in college today to 800,000 as soon as possible and to more than a million by 1975. Implications are apparent for policy development. It will be necessary to provide money and places and attract enrollees. Costs and enrollment targets can be computed and, hopefully, realized. Tangential problems of curriculum, faculty desegregation, and neo-separatism are solvable and should not become issues which detract from the main drive.
