This fact debunks the negative message communicated aboutHBCUs only graduating the highest number of Blacks in STEM due to the high percentage ofBlacks enrolled. According to the NRC, the report highlights the effectiveness of HBCUs inincreasing participation and success of minority students. Although HBCUs face challenges suchas flat or declining enrollment because of an inability to compete with other more resourcedinstitutions with scholarship funds for prospective students or online learning opportunities

instructors teaching in STEM whoperceive microaggressions shown to them as less negative and had higher rates of non-responseto the microaggressions than the faculty teaching diversity courses (Boyson, 2012). When a faculty member realizes that a microaggression has occurred, they are faced witha decision of choosing how to respond. The subtlety of microaggressions and lack of diversitytraining for most faculty, makes the decision difficult (Hernandez, Carranza, and Almeida 2010).There are few studies on the effectiveness of professional development with regard tomicroaggressions in higher education classrooms, but a study by Boyson (2012) suggests thatfaculty should respond to microaggressions and receive training on the topic.
