HBCUs Face Wave of Presidential Departures

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are experiencing a significant wave of presidential departures, with nearly a quarter of presidential seats opening since 2022. The reasons for these departures vary, but common factors include challenges faced by small, private, religious-affiliated schools, battles over enrollment and finances, and the growing politicization of higher education. College presidents are under pressure to navigate the post-affirmative action era, the impact of the pandemic, and shrinking student pools. The average tenure of recently departed HBCU presidents is 2.1 years, half of the usual contract length. The demands of the role, including fundraising and financial management, are heightened at HBCUs due to historic underfunding and limited resources. However, this wave of departures could present an opportunity to bring in fresh, diverse, and inclusive leadership.
