Forthcoming ETS Report proclaims the importance of HBCUs - Educational Testing Service; Historically Black Colleges and Universities - includes related article on ETS Report

The political controversy fueled Wenglinsky's interest in the educational mission of HBCUs - and he has written on the subject before, notably in 1996 for the publication Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysts. The ETS study builds on that earlier piece, though it contains quite a bit of new research.

ETS undertook the study, Wenglinsky says, as part of its ongoing commitment to study major educational policy issues. Many HBCUs do not require SATs of their incoming students and put little emphasis on them. Even so ETS, which develops the SAT and other standardized tests used by educational institutions and employers, has worked with HBCUs on a number of issues - including making sure that the GRE exam, for example, is a fair instrument of assessment.
