ABSTRACT: The work of the National Advisory Committee on
Black Higher Education and Black Colleges and Universities
during 1977-1982 is discussed, and information and
recommendations on black students and black colleges are
presented. After describing the committee's background and
functions, the following issues concerning equity for black
Americans in higher education are considered: student
financial aid; admission, retention, and graduation rates;
the role of Targeted Educational Opportunity Programs; the
President's Executive Order, the White House Initiative
Office, and the private sector initiative; and the Adams
case and desegregation of higher education. Recommendations
are offered concerning financial aid to low income students,
research and teaching assistantships for black students,
specific student financial aid programs, approaches to
lowering the dropout rate for pre-college students, the use
of standardized tests, two-year colleges and articulation
between them and four-year schools, graduate/professional
education, science/technology and fields that are
underrepresented, and targeted programs and support
services. Appendices include: highlights of committee
reports, including commissioned studies and fact sheets, a
summary of recommendations from correspondence and reports,
