suggests the needto develop faculty interaction with students. While these environments are known to be morenurturing than predominantly white institutions, maybe they have become too relaxed inaggressively guiding students towards degree completion. Until there is a shift in the HBCUenvironment (faculty interaction) on the undergraduate level, there will continue to be a lack ofgraduate level degrees offered and earned at these institutions compared to PWIs.Bibliography1.
