    just some facts

    Of all degrees conferred by HBCUs to Black students, more than two-thirds were conferred to female students (69 percent)

    Of the 78 ranked HBCUs that provided data to U.S. News in an annual survey, the average four-year graduation rate for first-time, first-year students was about 23.2%

    Actually the graduates of most HBCUs are very successful in their professional careers. It's actually one of the bright spots in the minority community in terms success in America.

    So tell us -- where do you get the statistics that HBCU graduates only have IQs in the 90s and many don't end up holding jobs?

    ...and if they don't graduate they are in even a worse position to repay student loans.

    I didn't say that they 'only' had IQs in the 90s. There is a distribution curve as is always the case in psychometrics and many of them do. I also didn't say that they didn't hold jobs. Many are underemployed for college graduates, though.

    I can't remember where I read that but it was probably Charles Murray or one of his cohorts.

    It's a relatively simple exercise to convert a college's median SAT score to IQ because they correlate well.

    Most of these students shouldn't be going to college in the first place (and borrowing money to do so).
