Whom Should an HBCU Recruit?

John Moseley, the new president of Lincoln University of Missouri, has upset the head of his national alumni association with his student recruitment plans, The News Tribune reported. Moseley said the university needs more students, and he outlined two groups to recruit: metropolitan students from throughout the United States, and students from mid-Missouri. The latter group of students is overwhelmingly white. Lincoln is historically Black. Sherman Bonds, president of the Lincoln University National Alumni Association, said, “To suggest what he did suggest was a white culture.”
