Stanford routinely scores high in rankings of colleges and universities on dozens of topics. But here's a category that may surprise: in a survey by Black Enterprise magazine, Stanford rated 10th on a list of best colleges for African Americans. The top nine are all schools with majority black enrollments -- including top three Spelman College (95 percent black), Morehouse College (99 percent black) and Florida A&M University (88 percent black). Only 6 percent of Stanford students are African American.
"Stanford not only talks the talk but walks the walk," says Marjorie Whigham-Desir, co-author of the article. "It's had a history and tradition of being in the forefront for a lot of good and positive efforts when it comes to inclusion and being reflective of the world."
