Speaking to some 100 facul ty, staff and administrators, Dr. Cheek said that based upon contacts which he has, certain projections have alreadv been made about the survival of black colleges. One of them being, “that only approximately half of our black colleges will ‘be’a tound’ in 1980.” He said that one of the rea sons for these so-called projec tions has been a shifting of em phasis of the entire country on “not bow- many black colleges and universities can be saved, but how many black young men and women can be educated.” During the past year, the eco nomic tone of the nation has been at such a low level the philanthropic giving has been extremely conservative. The results Cheek added has been near catastrophe for a large number of black colleges and universities,” Cheek stated. He cited a report recently completed by a leading founda tion which shoved most Hack colleges and universities en countered financial difficulty during their past fiscal year. And he added that unless things change drastically, they would experience even more difficulty in the coining year. Cheek said his interpretation of survival meant not merely physical survival, but survival far and above mediocrity.
