Study Aims To Learn Why Some Black Men Succeed In College | Inside Higher Ed

Source: When Black Men Succeed, insidehighered.com

The litany of bad news about the status of black men in higher education is by now familiar. They make up barely 4 percent of all undergraduate students, the same proportion as in 1976. They come into college less prepared than their peers for the rigors of college-level academic work. Their completion rates are the lowest of all major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. 

Shaun R. Harper is tired of hearing the list. It's not that he believes it's inaccurate -- the facts are the facts -- or irrelevant. But what troubles Harper, an associate professor of higher education at the University of Pennsylvania, is that it's pretty much all that we hear, in higher education research, in news reports, and as reflected in campus policies. That single-minded theme struck Harper personally as incomplete, since it didn't reflect his own experience or that of many black men he knew...

Grammy Winners

Adele with 6 wins left all others artist in the dust. She won album of the year and Grammys in numerous other categories such as song of the year and solo performances of the year. Kanye West had another good year winning 4 awards, 3 from his album. Kanye and Jay-Z got a Grammy for Otis. Kanye won best rap song with all of the lights. The Foo Fighters had a break out year with 4 awards in categories such as best rock album and best rock performance. Many other artist such as Chris Brown and Taylor Swift won commendable awards of their genre respectively.

 

Whitney Houston

As we all know Whitney Houston was found dead in her bath tub on February 11, 2012. The cause of her death is still unknown. She was found by her hairdresser with her face under water and her feet up as if she had slipped in the tub. It was reported that Whitney Houston was acting belligerent the night before and got into an altercation with Stacy Francis, a situation in which her boyfriend at the time Ray J had to step in and break up. She was scheduled to attend Clive Davis music show that evening making her death all the more unexpected.

 

We all loved Whitney Houston. It shows in her awards, she is the most awarded female artist of all time. We have all seen at least one of her 5 movies. Bodyguard being one her more critcally acclaimed movies. Everything Whitney Houston touched has been gold. She modeled, acted and sang there is nothing the talented artist could not do.

 

Whitney Houston will be missed!
