Well they shouldn't be counted either. So not only can you not count UH downtown, others can't count Georgia State and Clayton State as well. You might as well name all the colleges in the city which basically begins a new topic.

*edit*

Going back and reading their comments, they weren't saying that are HBCU's. Just that thy have a large black student population to the point of it being the majority. But jut because it's the majority doesn't make it an HBCU.

LOL. I know what an HBCU is. I graduated from one. GSU and Clayton State were brought up, so I brought up UHD for the culture.

It was brought up not as an HBCU. It was also not brought up to add to Atlanta's list.

^This......For instance, for all intent and purposes, Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn has historically been a predominantly Black college. However, it can't be viewed as an official HBCU due to not being established before 1964.

Chicago State University is a complex example, as it was established in 1867, but has had a predominantly Black enrollment since the late 60's/early 70's and is a part of the Thurgood Marshall Fund. It isn't an HBCU in spite of having aspects of one for decades.
