This. Quality with quantity of them to boot.

Targeted recruitment and retention are major ills where most HBCUs have severely dropped the ball.

In sTu's and PV's case, the nemesis are the regional-like growing fcs schools who aggressively target, recruit, & retain what would have once been TAG students to enroll at either sTu or PV.

That's the problem - the big and regional PWC's or now Hispanic Serving Institutions can attract all races with hesitation and have resources where they basically give money away as most are a safe haven Yet hbcus can't attract those races on a large scale

Only so many out of state waivers are provided so it'll be hard to attract a large amount of out of state students on a consistent basis at tsu or pv unless some are willing to pay a premium And that's not going to happen

The Louisiana and Mississippi schools waive out of state tuition - everyone wants a kid from texas
 
The truth of the matter is white schools are able to retain poor black students because of the grants they are giving by the states and federal government. The bottom line is George Bush Sr and Bush Jr gave the money that once went to HBCU's to white schools. Back in the 80's and early 90's there foreign students you see at PWI's went to HBCU's because they didn't want them at white schools. The same with black kids. They limited the amount of black kids until they found out they could milk the government and get money for black kids. These republican red states cut HBCU's budgets and give us scraps so we don't have a money pit. Yall act like the Republicans didn't go after pell grants during the Bush years. You have to look at the bottom line in America. White folks will be white folks, and we fall for it every time.

Most public HBCUs have endowments near the amount of regional PWIs. The thing is most of the best and brightest Black students we want still look down on HBCUs (especially if it aint what I consider the Big 5 of Howard, Spelman, Morehouse, FAMU, NCAT). They might not say it out loud as much as they used to but they absolutely feel they inferior or too ghetto which none are inferior but I do feel some do need to clean up their reputation and quality of students.
 
And, didn't they get fined for having too many out of state students? Even with that they're still holding it down.
