“…Affordable tuition is important since 70% of HBCU students are considered low income and qualify for Pell Grants under federal measures (Quinton 2014), and over 85% of all public HBCU students qualify for some form of financial aid (Ashley et al 2009). Many are first-generation college students and attend school only part-time because of other responsibilities (Ashley et al 2009;Gasman and McMickens 2010). Affordability is a vital service.…”

This conceptual study builds an institution-focused, non-Eurocentric, theoretical framework of black college student success. Specifically, the study synthesizes the relevant empirical research on the contributions historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have made for black student success, leading to an original model that all institutions can adapt to their contexts. Significantly, this is the first HBCU-based theoretical model to appear in the academic literature. The study concludes with several implications for research and practice, including testing the model and using it in institutional planning.

“…Thus, the focus should be on the process instead. One important aim of higher education should be to help students become knowledgeable, skilled, and committed to working toward democratic aims (Gasman & McMickens, 2010;Nagda et al, 2003). We cannot claim that we succeeded, but we certainly can claim that we tried nonetheless.…”

“…At their core, they have a mission to empower and uplift their students. Their curricula and corresponding co-curricular programs are typically aimed at providing culturally relevant learning experiences (Brayboy, Fann, Castagno, & Solyom, 2012;Cunningham et al, 2014;Gasman, 2007;Gasman & McMickens, 2010). HSIs and AANAPISIs are different in their constitutions.…”

Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) emerged in response to a history of racial inequity and social injustice due to racial and ethnic minorities' lack of access to Predominately White Institutions (PWIs). Enrolling 20% of the nation's college students, MSIs are an integral part of U.S. higher education. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the contributions that MSIs are making to postsecondary education, specifically contributions related to performance with men of color; teacher education; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; and outcomes measures within two-year MSIs. We use descriptive statistics from the National Center for Educational Statistics and the National Science Foundation to call for deep consideration of the unique mission MSIs serve, especially with regard to educating low-income students of color within the universe of outcomes and performance-based evaluation. We conclude with recommendations and implications for policy.
