2017-18 College/University rankings
U.S. News&World Report (a ranking agency with whom I have fundamental methodological issues), ranks Spelman College the #1 HBCU. Sorry, SPELMAN is the Number 1 College in the country for Black folks, Black women in particular. The other ranking of Historically White Colleges & Universities don't consider how poorly or how well the Black population in particular is treated, nor their academic failures and successes peculiar to them when determining a school's overall ranking. We succeed with students whom they would never consider for admissions as well as many of the brightest minds the world will ever know. The HWCUs do quite well at what they aspire to do, but HBCUs do equally well for its demographic. So the #1 HWCU is Princeton--congratulations to them also. We're all good with Spelman leading the way on this end.
