HU! YOU KNOW! Thank you for this video. This is a critical topic to be highlighted.

Just imagine if there were HWCU's that discriminated against blacks in the same way that HBCU's discriminated against whites and taught white supremacist rhetoric in the same way that black colleges teach black supremacist ideas. Fake news sites like Huffpo would be up in arms over it. The bottom line though is that if these colleges cannot sustain themselves then they should die out. Why should we fight to keep dying colleges that nobody wants to go to afloat?

In NEW ZEALAND we diversified by appealing to overses students, now there's an important industry that's being served with huge profits, mainly coming from China india and the Asian Continent

I thank HuffPost for discussing this situation, that is interesting and sad that these Universities are struggling yet historical colleges such as Yale and Harvard for example receive an abundance of funding and support. I support strongly why Jemele Hill urged athletes to support any of these Colleges, which also has me question why more celebrities do not fund and life these schools up more.
