As of July 24, 2019, four faculty members have recently received notification from the Journal of Negro Education that their recently submitted manuscript was accepted for publication. The submission, entitled A Comparative Assessment of Darkness in the Ebony Tower: Perceptions of Campus Crimes in HBCU Settings, examines student opinions with respect to potential crime victimization, offender characteristics, and campus safety measures. This is the first publication which explores the topic of campus safety among black students by comparing HBCU settings from two different states.
