The questions and problems which besiege higher education in general, and black higher education in particular, dictate that educators make a new and fresh appraisal of the issues which affect educational policy in an effort to devise bold and innovative approaches for achieving equality for blacks in higher education. The forecast for the next decade appears to be virtually overwhelming, and equally challenging. Concerted efforts must be aimed at devising new approaches for confronting critical issues affecting black higher education. NAFEO's Fifth National Conference will convene panels on student recruitment and retention, financial management, cross-cultural communication, graduate and professional education and research opportunities, legal issues, testing, accreditation, federal policies, engineering programs, affirmative action, student financial aid, community colleges, crime, health issues and reinforcement strategies for blacks. The purpose of NAFEO's Fifth National Conference is to provide a forum for nationally acclaimed researchers, scholars, and policy makers, including presidents/chancellors and chief academic officers of the historically black colleges to assemble not only to have dialogue on these critical issues, but more important, to provide "model approaches" and proposals for attaining equality for blacks in higher education. This Conference will draw upon the talent and resources of a broad cross-section of expert panelists and nationally renowned speakers who will analyze current educational efforts and chart the path toward uniqueness, access, choice and parity for blacks in higher education. The Fifth National Conference promises to be the largest in NAFEO's history. NAFEO has invited representatives from the major political parties to appear on a special panel to develop strategies for placing issues and concerns for blacks in higher education on the national party platforms. In addition, NAFEO will conduct its first Minority Employment Opportunity Center which will focus on the identification of minorities for positions at the historically and predominantly black colleges. CONFERENCE SPONSOR The National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education, founded in 1969, is a nonprofit, voluntary, independent association of 107 historically black colleges and institutions enrolling some 200,000 students. NAFEO is organized to articulate the need for a higher education system where race, income, and previous education are not the determinants of either the quantity or quality of higher education. 48
