Low numbers of Black students in colleges and universities

This article, “Negro Total on Campuses is only 2%” by William Trombley, was reprinted from the Los Angels Times. It cites a report, titled “State Universities and Black Americans” commissed by the National Association of State Universities and Landgrant Colleges. The articles states that “In a survey of 80 state institutions John Egerton of the Southern Education Reporting Service found that less than 2 per cent of full-time undergraduates were American Negroes and most of these were freshmen.” The same study found that there were “more foreign students than American Negroes on most state campuses.”
