Men struggling to finish at black colleges

MSNBC reports:
They're no longer the only option for African-American students, but the country's historically black colleges and universities brag that they provide a supportive environment where these students are more likely to succeed.

That, though, is not necessarily true.

An Associated Press analysis of government data on the 83 federally designated four-year HBCUs shows just 37 percent of their black students finish a degree within six years.
No word yet on whether Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton will yell racism on this one.
