Book Synopsis

With a focus on the changing political landscape, this book offers a fresh approach to increasing the HBCU value proposition for the next century.

While HBCUs are individually unique, they have similar missions, audiences, threats, and aspirations. This commonality suggests that they should unify in a way that preserves the identity of each, leverages shared resources, and strengthens their standing as an institution class. In this book, special attention is given to the opportunity for HBCUs to leverage Artificial Intelligence enterprise wide. Written for wide stakeholder engagement, Black College Blueprint proposes that the best way to accomplish collective HBCU advancement is to create an HBCU Consortium and an HBCU Think Tank to help structure and lead a new expression of Black college education nationally and globally.
