Backdoor segregation and deportation. Hard to believe that the land of diversity and tolerance has only one HBCU in State.

Leaders of California’s vast community college system on Tuesday approved a program aimed at making it easier for students to transfer to historically black colleges and universities in other parts of the country at a time when seats at the state’s own public universities have gotten harder to come by.
Under a deal brokered by Chancellor Brice Harris’ staff and approved by the system’s governing board, nine historically black schools in the South and Midwest have promised to admit all transfer students who have completed certain prescribed courses at California’s 112 two-year colleges with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
The agreements, set to take effect in the fall, are designed to reduce the time it takes students to accumulate enough course credits to move to a four-year school and then to earn their baccalaureates by making sure the work they do in California is recognized by the historically black institutions. Mismatches between the content of lower-division courses at community colleges and the same classes at four-year schools often make it hard for students to meet transfer entrance requirements or cause them to lose credits.[…]
Though the transfer agreements are with HBCUs, the program is open to students of all races and ethnicities.
The nine schools are Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas; Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri; Dillard University in New Orleans; Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina; Wiley College in Marshall, Texas; Fisk University in Nashville; and Stillman College, Talladega College and Tuskegee University, all located in Alabama. With the exception of Lincoln, all the institutions are private schools with annual tuitions ranging from about $9,300 to over $19,000.
