Tributes to Theodore Lamont Cross and His Journal of Blacks in Higher Education --- Over the years Theodore Cross touched the lives of thousands of people both through personal contact and through the written word in The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education and other publications. JBHE asked a select group of scholars to comment on the life of Theodore Cross or on the impact of this journal on African-American higher education. Here, in alphabetical order, are the responses we received.
Ranking the Nation’s Leading Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges on Their Numbers of Black Faculty --- The number of black faculty at the nation’s 30 highest-ranked universities is often distorted by the fact that a large percentage of the faculties at these schools are medical school faculty members who make up a majority of the total count. Even so, only two of the highest-ranking universities have a percentage of black faculty that is higher than the national average for black faculty at all institutions. Although a great number of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges are located in rural areas of states in the Northeast or Midwest, many of these colleges have been successful in attracting significant numbers of black faculty.
