Should HBCUs Chase Someone Else's Definition of Success?

What if the biggest challenge facing HBCUs isn't becoming more prestigious, but believing they still need permission to be considered excellent? In this conversation, Ph.D. candidate Tuesday Barnes explores the race toward R1 status through a different lens. Rather than debating whether research funding and recognition matter, she asks a deeper question: Who gets to define success in the first place? From institutional identity to research, mission, and excellence, this episode challenges how HBCUs measure progress and what they risk losing if they pursue someone else's standard. _______ All opinions expressed by guests do not reflect the views of "I Love My HBCU?"

Why Freedom Isn't Always Freedom.

What if the best college experience isn't freedom... but accountability?

Why HBCUs Aren't What People Think.

Most people think they know what an HBCU student looks like. Maveah Griffith thought she knew too. Raised in an immigrant household, with interests that didn't fit stereotypes, she worried she wouldn't belong at an HBCU at all. Then she got there. This isn't just a conversation about college. It's a conversation about identity, belonging, and what happens when the stories we've been told turn out to be wrong. _______ All opinions expressed by guests do not reflect the views of "I Love My HBCU?"

There are no easy answers as De'Shya Clark describes her generation carrying a unique heaviness. _______ All opinions expressed by guests do not reflect the views of "I Love My HBCU?"
