U.S. College and University Initiatives To Expand Educational Opportunities for Black South Africans: A Models Workshop. Information Exchange: Working Paper #3.
Micou, Ann McKinstry, Ed.
In 1979 the Institute of International Education (IIE), a nonprofit organization that works on education programs in 145 countries and with U.S. colleges and universities, began a scholarship program for black South Africans wanting to study in the United States. The models workshop, held at the offices of the IIE in 1987, was made possible by the cooperation of IIE and U.S. colleges and universities on the South African Education Program (SAEP). Five professionals representing different program models addressed issues related to the origins and implementations of their programs and associated problems. Ten respondents also participated. Two black South Africans involved in educational issues presented comments from the South African perspective on the issues raised. The workshop explored the roles that U.S. colleges and universities play in offering educational opportunities to black South Africans. It looked at the many programs currently operating to see what works and what does not work. This report covers the following: developing links; problems in launching or implementing programs; reactions on U.S. campuses; consultation; and advice to others planning programs. Each section looks at correspondence/on site, career development, faculty fellowship, academic exchange, math/science teaching, discussion, and the South Africa perspective. An information request is included so readers may make suggestions on additions. (SM)
