Louisiana's black colleges see enrollment increase

The Times reports (http://bit.ly/29taa6N) higher education experts say the increase could be due in part to a rise in the number of non-black students attending historically black schools, as well as recent racial conflicts at predominantly white institutions.

The number of non-traditional black students is growing at campuses because of lower tuition, higher academic programs and more students wanting to attend a safer college environment, said Marybeth Gasman, a higher education professor at the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions.

A lot of schools will see more white students if they have an MBA program, law school or programs that aren't at other institutions, but there's still some prejudice and racism that stops white students from going to HBCUs.
