Educator Predicts Black College
Enrollment Could Plummet
DURHAM, NC, (CPS) — Black
colleges and campuses that
enroll students from lower-
income households are apt to
suffer more drastic enrollment
declines if financial aid budgets
continue to fall, a University of
Chicago professor recently
warned a national conferenceon
desegragation here.
"The impact of aid cuts is
greater on black schools which
have more students from poor
families,” says Education
Professor Edgar Epps. "If the
current financial aid policy con
tinues to be restrictive, I expect
enrollment at all colleges serving
poorer students will show enroll
ment declines.”
Student aid cuts approaching
20 percent over the past four
years already have reduced
enrollment at a number of black
colleges, Epps pointed out in a
phone interview, and causecha
large number of mid-year drop
outs.
More students are attending
college part-time, he told the
National Conference on
Desegragation in Postsecondary
Education at North Carolina
Central University recently,
because they can’t afford full
time tuition.
Guaranteed Student Loans
have saved some schools from
signficant enrollment drops, but
“we will definitely be in trouble
if the economy changes and
lending institutions find
something else to do with their
money,” predicts Jeanette Huff,
financial aid director at Fort
Valley State College in Georgia.
"About 96 percent of our
students receive some kind of
financial aid,” she says. "And if
lenders withdraw the funds, we
won’t have a college.”
Huff estimates the college
would retain only 17 to 20
percent of its students if current
funding sources disappeared.
"Not enough for us to open
our doors,” she comments.
Even the University of the
District of Columbia, where
public budget appropriations
keep tuition low and most
students are ineligible for finan
cial aid, has suffered some cut
backs, admits Dwight Cropp,
vice president of resource
management and development.
"The aid cuts have been felt in
terms of growth of our non
resident student population,” he
explains. "So they depend to a
large extent on tuition and fees.”
While black communities
solidly support traditionally
black colleges, Epps
recommends schools take
decisive steps to combat finan
cial aid woes.
“Colleges need to offer
programs that are attractive,” he
stresses. “And schools must be
flexible in offering them, es
pecially at convenient times for
working students.”
Schools also must find new
ways for students to finance their
educations, cultivate new
sources of private funding and
recruit students aggressively,
Epps notes.
"Schools need to do a better
job of selling themselves,” he
maintains.
Without these innovations,
Epps says, “it’s doubtful that
some of these institutions will
survive.”
