Duke is a private university so it’s funding comes from alumni donors, their $11 billion endowment, and funding from national organizations for research because they’re a top research university.

Who’s responsible for their funding? Why aren’t black alumni giving back?

As an HBCU Graduate I can say the reason HBCUs are underfunded is due to systematic oppression by the government. States usually allocate federal funding for universities to the PWIs. Then if the HBCU is apart of a bigger college system they get their funds taken as well.

Duke is one of the best research universities in the country. This is like saying WNBA is underfunded compared to NBA 😭🤣 … well ya DUHH it doesn’t make the same $$ so it doesn’t get funded the same??? Such a SIMPLE concept

Better schools get better financial support from donors/alumni. Howard has a billion dollar endowment because it actually produces successful alumni, this is a quality issue and nothing more. You can’t have a median accepted SAT in the triple digits and expect to produce future titans of industry

I get you sista. Idk why they acting like this doesn’t made sense. And this is coming from a HBCU grad and a Durham resident. It’s insane how much Duke really affects its surrounding residents and how my HBCU was basically was barely help stabilize its own city. I understand you.

First, Duke is private. Second, no public schools get much funding anymore. It’s up to tuition and alumni donations

While I definitely agree with your statement about funding, a lot of schools are in lower income areas in general. It’s very common.
