Kathy Matheson, Associated Press via Diverse Issues in Higher Education; Black Colleges Look to Increase Online Education Presence:
"Blacks comprised about 12 percent of total enrollment in higher education in 2007 but were 21 percent of students at for-profit institutions — many of which are online, according to an American Council on Education report released this year.
Tom Joyner, a syndicated radio host with a largely Black audience, also sees the market's potential. The longtime historical Black college and unversity booster and philanthropist has invested about $7 million to start HBCUsOnline.com, an educational services venture run by his son."
