Comparable Schools'
Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
Although Clark Atlanta University is a Historically Black University, there still remains diversity in relation to various backgrounds. Clark Atlanta Panthers come from different areas of the South, Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast. The Northeast and South both have a very strong presence on campus and off campus. Regional differences are very apparent in the way people dress, how and what people prefer to cook, their dialect and slang, and other unique attributes that they bring onto the campus. Clark Atlanta University has students from every economic background, so people who are dead-broke, middle-class, or upper-class can all feel included in the CAU family. It takes probably less than 10 fingers to count how many other ethnic groups this HBCU has in a given semester, so it’s much easier to recognize diversity among different upbringings, cultures, and lifestyles. Generally, students at Clark Atlanta University identify themselves as Christians, but there are other well-established religious sectors on campus. The acceptance of students with learning or physical disabilities is something that the University is constantly striving to improve. Students with learning or physical disabilities are treated with respect by their peers and the University staff, but some of the main buildings would not be considered very accommodating. Clark Atlanta University could definitely benefit from implementing programs that could bring about some more ethnic diversity and outline some ways to accommodate students with disabilities.

As a white male attending a predominately black school, I must say that this has definitely been an enlightening experience. When I first started school, I was very frightened about being around this many black people because I’ve never been exposed to this environment before. After being here three years, I must say that these are the most enthusiastic and intelligent people that I’ve ever met in my entire life. I would not trade this experience for the world. |

Being an African American who truly understands the struggle of my people, I’m proud to attend a school where there are people with similar backgrounds as me with the same interests that I have. Being at Clark, I can be more certain that people understand who I am and what I require in a learning environment. HBCUs have the ability to cater to the African American student much better than schools with low multicultural populations. My brothers and sisters, I encourage you all to continue to support the efforts of our negro institutions. |

CAU is very diverse as far as students from all over the United States. You can meet a student from almost any state in the U.S. (even Arkansas). CAU, however, is not diverse when it comes to other races. You mainly see African American students because CAU is an HBCU and predominantly black. |

There are diverse personality types, and you can tell by just comparing the Deltas and the AKAs or, like, the Omegas and the Alphas. No one really comes to an HBCU expecting racial diversity. |

The diversity at Clark Atlanta is very apparent within regional differences, but less apparent within racial differences. I think the school should do more to get students of different ethnicities to attend Clark. Maybe if they got more people here we would get more corporate contributers. |
FactsEconomic Status
Clark Atlanta Students come from various economic backgrounds. Although some students here would be considered “rich kids,” a high percentage of Clark students are financial aid and loan recipients. Most Clark Atlanta students wear designer clothes and some even drive fancy vehicles, but the school is still not considered to be full of the rich and spoiled. Within the Atlanta University Center, Clark Atlanta is probably the most balanced with both “rich” and “broke” kids.
Gay Pride
Clark Atlanta University does not have any openly gay or lesbian support groups on campus. Homosexuals are generally accepted on Clark Atlanta’s campus. Most of the gays on campus are not flamboyant, but they still are openly gay.
Minority Clubs
The minority clubs are small because of the small number of minorities Clark Atlanta has, and because they’re not widely recognized.

Political Activity
Clark Atlanta University is primarily a politically and socially liberal school. The majority of protests that take place on campus usually deal with issues such as tuition increases, under-funded programs, or other money issues.
