Reasons
NASHVILLE, Tetm.-
I’lie 55 public colleges
and universities which
were created to serve
black Americans “are in
imminent danger ot v
losing their identity
thro ug ii integration,
merger, reduced status
or outright abolition,
according to a report
just released by the
Hace Relations Infor
mation Center (RRIC)
in Nashville, Tenn.
The black colleges, the re
port says, “wpre designed to be
separate and proclaimed to be
equal, but none of them ever
has been provided with the re
sources or the support to a
ohieve true parity with the col
leges and universities created to
serve whites.”
The RRIC report, complied
In John Egerton and Pat lira
den, says ‘‘there is practical
ly nothing to indicate that any
of the states is committed to a
guarantee of actual equality for
any Hack college or university.
A few of the institutions may
have moved closer Jo that ideal,
and some of the states have
achieved substantial desegrega
tion both ui their formerly all
black and their previously all
white colleges and universities,
but tire prevailing pattern is one
of racially separate and quali
tatively unequal higher educa
tion.'’
Three of the institutions -
West Virginia State College,
Bluefield, W. Va. State Col
lege and I incoln University of
Missouri - now have a ma
jority of white students, and
three others - Delaware State,

of over 30 per cent. Three
