- Summary:
-
A Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) study was conducted in 1988 to examine perceptions of college climate among black students at predominantly white colleges and white students in historically black colleges. Data were obtained from 20 historically black and 20 predominantly white institutions which participated in the 1977 and 1978 SREB studies, including Alabama State, Jackson State and Mississippi State Universities, and University of Maryland-College Park. Returned surveys (N=4,853) were analyzed for information on the student demographics, racial attitudes, satisfaction with institution, minority recruitment, college choice, and academic and social climate. Analysis underscored the need for colleges and universities in the SREB region to re-examine the status of minority students on campuses. Study findings included the following: (1) opinions about campus climate most often reflected status and not race; (2) students generally expressed open-mindedness toward race relations; (3) many white students opposed special considerations for minorities; (4) students questioned the sincerity of minority recruitment efforts and only in this case did opinions diverge along racial lines; and (5) minority group students indicated a lack of opportunity to express their concerns. Fourteen tables are included. (LPT)
