In a recent visit that I made with the faculty of the School of Business and Management at State University, the Dean of the School began her orientation lecture with the observation that Morgan can never rise higher than its faculty. The expression carried considerable meaning not only for but for all higher education institutions, particularly the historically Black colleges. Today, the Black colleges are being faced with grave issues that challenge their very existence. One of the major challenges facing Black colleges and universities during the decade of the 1980s and beyond is how to build and maintain strong predominantly Black faculties. A strong faculty is the key to the strength of any institution of higher education. And, for the historically Black colleges, or even the new colleges serving large numbers of low-income Black students, the character of the faculty must match the character of the student body if maximum effect is to be realized. The same is true, of course, for other institutions with a distinct cultural heritage
