Read a feature article from Issue No. 49 (Autumn 2005):

 

Hurricane Katrina's Devastating Effect on African-American Higher Education --- In late August, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. As a result, 20,000 African-American college students in New Orleans suddenly had nowhere to attend classes. About half of these black students were enrolled at the three historically black universities in the city. Damage estimates from the hurricane at these three institutions reach as high as $850 million.

The Widening Racial Scoring Gap on the SAT College Admissions Test --- The racial scoring gap on the SAT test has now become wider than has been the case for the past two decades.
