And for a good suggestion about how this might be resolved. I totally agree with you about the value of the HBCUs and hope that you will teach for one. Mike Will, thanks for your comment.

There are already degree programs like that in existence. On a side note, HBCU's fill a huge cultural and educational need for students of African decent. As much as I value my master's and am enjoying the Ed.D. from Capella, my one biggest regret is that I did not graduate from an HBCU. I guess I have to it up by teaching at one.
