The job of a university is to prepare its students for the outside world. A world where they must maintain a job with people who will often disagree with them, view them as less than equals and treat them in an unfair manner. This problem isn’t strictly unique to people of color, but it is often compounded by the color of their skin, the ignorance of white people and cultural norms.

So, they must go to a university with people who will often disagree with them, view them as less than equals and treat them in an unfair manner?

Segregation, whether self-imposed, or forcefully imposed is still segregation. When people fail to meet their challenges head on, they will certainly meet with failure. When universities fail to prepare their students to meet these challenges, then they fail their students.

How do you know what is best for black students? How many black people do you know well? How many close black friends do you have?

How do you get to decide what is in their best interests?
