O‘Connell: CUA Working to Recruit,

HISTORY OF BLACK
STUDENTS AT CATHOLIC
UNIVERSITY

Retain Black, Hispanic Students

1887-1919
University one of few colleges
to admit all males regardless
of race.

BLACK STUDENTS, from 1 1919-1936

versity admitted black students with-
out restriction, which was unique in the
District which was mostly segregated.
That policy changed around 1919, when
the University did not admit black stu-
dents but had no ofcial written policy on
the issue. Later, the University quietly be-
gan allowing black students to enroll un-
der Bishop Joseph M. Corrigan, who made
the decision without the approval of the
Board of Trustees in 1936. In 1946, CUA
was cited as an “outstanding example of
successful interracial education” by the
President’s Committee on Civil Rights.
By mid-century, a black male had
been elected a class ofcer, an interracial
student group had been formed, graduate
students voted overwhelmingly to admit
black students into the building, non-
academic aspects of student life had been
fully integrated and the University’s Com-
mission on American Citizenship was
publishing a comic book that included
panels that promoted desegregation and
the equality of the races.
While the Catholic identity of the Uni-
versity led to its desegregation ahead of
the other “white institutions” in the area,
today its strong ties to the Roman Catholic
faith may indirectly be making the recruit-
ment and retention of black students more
difcult. African-Americans make up only
three percent of the nation’s Catholics, ac-
cording to census data.
University President Rev. David M.
O’Connell “is working with the Ofce of
Enrollment Management on strategies
to recruit and retain minority students,”
said Victor Nakas, University spokes-
man. “Recently, the president asked se-
nior administrators to consider outreach
to Hispanic populations, which have an

for me at CUA. In almost
all of my classes, I was the
only African-American.”

obvious and natural alliance with the
Catholic Church. He has been in touch
with Hispanic bishops to solicit their ad-
vice.” Hispanics made up 5.8 percent of
undergraduates last fall, and make up 39
percent of Catholics nationwide according
to census data.
“I don’t know if the University neces-
sarily goes out of its way to recruit black
students because maybe it doesn’t have
to,” said William Jawando, who completed
his undergraduate work at the University
in 2004 and graduated from the Columbus
School of Law in 2007.
“It was an adjustment for me at CUA.
In almost all of my classes, I was the
only African-American in the class,” said
Jawando. “But anywhere you go where
you are the only black student around you
feel like an outsider.”
Jawando, now a legislative assistant
for Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), found-
ed the campus chapter of the NAACP
after a public battle in 2004. University
Center, Student Programs and Events
initially blocked Jawando and other stu-
dents from starting the chapter because
they believed it would cause redundancy
with BOSACUA and Minority Voices, an
umbrella group of minority student orga-
nizations. They were also concerned with
the NAACP’s advocacy of abortion rights.
O’Connell met with the students and rec-
ommended that UCSPE reverse their de-
cision after students explained why the
chapter was important and agreed to steer
clear of supporting abortion rights.
“It was something that needed to
happen, for Catholic’s development as a
whole as far as freedom of expression and
the Catholic Church’s commitment to civil
rights historically,” said Jawando.
He regrets that the NAACP chapter
is not active today, and said he had been
in contact with Michael Andrews, a for-
mer assistant dean of students, in an effort
to restart the organization over the sum-
mer. Jawando, now vice president of the
D.C. chapter of the NAACP, noted that the
organization’s charter was still active and
could be restarted at any time.
Boyer said she is interested in starting
the NAACP chapter again, but is worried
that she would not be able to nd enough
students willing to participate because
there are so few black students. When AC-
CESS was founded in the spring of 2007,

the NAACP was still active, and leaders
intended to focus the organization on Af-
rican culture. With the NAACP chapter
inactive, the role of the organization has
evolved into a broader role.
“We thought NAACP would sort of
be the same thing as ACCESS and all the
work would be put on us, but at the same
time that is what is necessary to get people
to participate,” said Boyer. “I think we
should do it, but at the same time it is a
lot of work. To have two student organiza-
tions where you have to be like a one man
band, is not the easiest thing.”
Boyer, Senior Jen Hector and Jawando
all said that running student organizations
for black students is very difcult because
the small number of black students at the
University limits the pool from which
these organizations draw.
Still, say administrators, diversifying
the student body and creating a support-
ive environment for minority students is
an institutional priority.
Christine Mica, director of admis-
sions, said in an e-mail that CUA recruits
“a bit differently from other colleges, in
that prospective CUA students tend to be
service-oriented, looking for leadership
positions and are looking for a faith-based
foundation.”
“When I was applying there was no-
body to talk to about being a minority at
Catholic or coming to Catholic and the
different opportunities for minority stu-
dents,” said Boyer. The University had
employed a minority recruiter in the early
1990s, and outgoing president Rev. Wil-
liam J. Byron indicated that he thought
the school should have more. Currently,
the admissions staff has eight admissions
counselors, but Mica did not say if any
worked specically on recruiting minority
students.
Students choose a college where they
feel comfortable, says Mica, so underrep-
resented student groups must feel com-
fortable with all aspects of the CUA com-
munity including academics, student life,
spiritual life and social life.
“CUA has made some very positive
steps in this direction and must continue
to work hard to do more initiatives,” said
Mica.
But black students say they have not
“CUA has made some
very positive steps in this

ue to work hard to do more

Director of Admissions
noticed any strong efforts to reach out to
minority students.
“I wasn’t searching for support, but I
don’t think as a minority student the sup-
port was there and visible for someone
with my specic needs as a minority,” said
Hector, who is a member of the campus
chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, a histori-
cally black sorority. Hector said the low
number of minorities makes organizing
difcult. She also pointed to the diversity
of the faculty as an issue that deserves at-
tention.

“As a politics major, I haven’t seen a
lot of diversity among faculty members,”
said Hector. “I haven’t had a professor
who is black. Promoting diversity on staff
is another way to promote diversity.”
University data shows that just three per-
cent of full-time University professors are
black.
Mica said that all potential students,
underrepresented student groups in-
cluded, are considered for both merit and
need based scholarships. She also pointed
out that there are federal grants available
specically to underrepresented groups
in specic disciplines, including in the
School of Nursing, which was awarded an
$868,900 grant to recruit Hispanic nurses
in 2003. Additionally, there are outside
scholarships and grants targeted to under-
represented groups, said Mica.
Making minority students feel com-
fortable “is very important to us,” said
Chad Kee, associate director of student
leadership and programs. “My focus is
on supporting retention through pro-
gramming and creating opportunities for
students to express their cultural heritage
and explore those of others.”

Kee inherited the position when the
responsibility for Multicultural Education
and Awareness shifted from the Dean of
Students Ofce to UCSPE over the sum-
mer. He is working with ACCESS on pro-
gramming for black history month, which
Boyer said includes plans for screening
a culturally signicant movie. She also
wants to turn Starbucks into a themed café
for a night and put on a culture show.
Raising minority enrollment has been
a goal of the University as far back as 1969.
That year, it offered half scholarships to
disadvantaged students. The students
that enrolled in that program, in which
businesses provided the other half of the
tuition, started BOSACUA. In the past 40
years, the University has sometimes in-
consistently prioritized minority recruit-
ment. At times the University has offered
scholarships specically for black students
and employed a minority recruiter. With
the nancial crisis causing losses in the
University’s endowment in addition to the
hiring freeze which was put into place by
O’Connell, it is uncertain if funding will
be available for recruitment and retention
of minority students.
