Why Aren’t Black Men Graduating From College?

Last week, the American Council on Education issued a report on the state of black males in the higher education system. The report reveals some interesting and disturbing trends. It turns out that black men are graduating from college at a rate which lags significantly behind other ethnic groups.

When determining graduation probabilities over a six-year period, black males were found to have a graduation rate of 35 percent. This compares with rates of 59 percent, 46 percent and 45 percent for white males, hispanic males and black women, respectively. In other words, black men are a little more than half as likely to finish college when compared to their white male counterparts.

This is just the tip of the "ice berg" ... cities like Detroit have a 75 % drop out rate, the number tops 90% when applied to black males. We Americans are building prisons to house these drop outs, in fact we're building more prisons than schools.

The saddest part is this - tax payers are footing the bill either way - as the old oil filter commercial use to say, " You can pay me now, or pay me later"
