Is this legal? Is this really a school that only allows people of a certain race? I don't mean scholarships or other affirmative action type stuff. An actual entire school that excludes based on race?

Where is my misunderstanding?

No.

I'm not sure what I could've said to make my 'non-answer' to that specific question any clearer.

I know that is true of the regular Howard University campus, but what about the new program that's the subject of the article?


Did you bother to read the post?

> Rising juniors and seniors in Howard’s computer science (CS) program can attend Howard West, for three months at a time.
