It is appalling for society to view the hispanic population as non-minority. Both Blacks and Hispanics have the same struggle for education and opportunity in this country. If on particular group chooses to use the services more than another it is their advantage. To discriminate at this point is ignorant.
Additionally, the purpose of choosing a qualified president is not related to one’s ethnicity, it is the qualifications that president brings to the university.
We must all get it together or both races will perish.

HBCU’s were established to educate the African American Community when they were refused elsewhere. Demographics may change but let’s not forget our purpose. The President of the institution should always be an African American ( you would not find a Jewish institution give up control of their institution, so why should we?) For the past 500 hundred years African Americans have slaved, fought and died to be educated. So why shouldn’t HBCU’s still maintain its history?
