This is a very useful and informative template. I was wondering if their is a similar list or template that lists HBCU's by state. Dincher ( talk) 04:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC) reply

according to the federal site, this is not an hbcu. also, i count 98, when there are 105. there are at least 7 missing, plus one more since simmons isn't an hbcu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.143.159 ( talk) 02:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC) reply

What is the chance the Federal site is wrong and confused by the fact that Simmons was reduced to being just a small Bible college for a while? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.106.155.46 ( talk) 01:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC) reply

or not totally defunct, but totally unaccredited and ineligible for federal student aid. 72.106.155.46 ( talk) 01:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC) reply

One could argue that the former Nashville Bible Institute, affiliated with the Churches of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee, largely to maintain segregation at David Lipscomb College, qualified as an HBCU as it had a liberal arts element to its program. There was a more vocationally-oriented, but post-secondary, CofC-affiliated school at Sliver Point, Tennessee for some time. Also, there is an historical marker in Nashville for a Roger Williams University, a Black institution located near the current location of the George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, and another for another Black institution, Radnor College (no relation to an institution of a similar name in Virginia) in the Radnor neighborhood of Nashville along Nolensville Road. 72.106.155.46 ( talk) 02:08, 23 June 2020 (UTC) reply
