Kenyan government signs HBCU agreement with the AUC & Howard U.

[Dipsey Doo]

Seems like a scheme to pump more international students into the AUC

OK so clearly you can see how this benefits Kenyans but how does this benefit American students? Are people at Morehouse or Clark clamoring to go study in Kenya?


This seems very one sided.

More than likely there will be like 40 to 60 American students in Kenya, most of them for one or a few semesters, and there will be 400 to 600 Kenyan students in the US. As someone else mentioned above, this is really just about getting new customers.

Clownish comment.

Wow
@DrBanneker had a yearlong series about HBCUs. Covered everything, including funding challenges. International students pay higher tuition than in-state or other American students.

Kenya is one of the emerging tech hubs in the world right now, and the HBCUs mentioned attract some of the brightest minds in the country. How wouldn't it benefit their students and faculty to have exchanges to colleges across the globe. Especially there?

Dudes are very limited and shut off from the world.

Have Americans been limited from attending those schools in Kenya before this? I never heard of anyone here saying they were applying to and trying to get into those schools. Everyone has experienced plenty of the opposite.

With exchange programs its a case where students from both sides have a want to attend a school in that country and experience living there. Do you think there will be an equal amount of Americans trying to attend school in Kenya as there are Kenyan's wanting to attend here?

Perhaps you understand the student and faculty dynamics at these 4 schools better than the school presidents.
Spelman, especially remains on top by constantly expanding access and options for her students. Standing still is the TLR way, not how high performing academic institutions operate.

Keep smilie-ing, though.

What I do know is there is no shortage of crooks running HBCUs and this one sided deal sounds like someone is getting a kickback somewhere.

I can see how this benefits both sides. An exchange of knowledge has led to innovations consistently throughout our human history. Kenyans and Americans might look at problems totally differently, having fresh minds can lead to many solutions.

I would always volunteer at my company for career fairs at local HBCUs. The amount of international students on campus increased every year. This is mainly about getting more high tuition paying students to enroll. I'm not mad at them but just call it what it is.

Cool, but why is Kenya running interference for white supremacy in Haiti?

Have to look deeper than the intentional press releases put out to make something look one way.

If I was an African leader I would do more of this and offer potential dual citizenship. I don't know what all of that entails, but it's a surefire way to slow brain drain or build up industry with US talent.

My company does a lot of work in the east Africa corridor, and I would love to finagle a way to go over there for an extended period of time.
