What our registrants are saying on the registration forms in response to the question:

Are you optimistic that the digital divide  between HBCUs and other higher education institutions will close in the near future? Explain.

 
Yes.  What is required is commitment on the part of management.  Once the infrastructure is established, I believe that faculty will for the most part embrace the technology.
Not very optimistic, but it is possible to overcome the divide with appropriate financial, human and technological resources.
Yes, but it will take a lot of effort from all levels, from administration to students
No.
I am very optimistic that the digital divide will close in the near future if we address the situation as soon as possible.  All we need to do is to bring it to the attention of the management of HBCUs ....
Yes, because a lot of gossip has circulated that different HBCUs are in danger of closing because money problems.
Yes! I am very optimistic that things will change. I also know that hope will go only so far. Letters to politicians and deans would help to bring attention to the current problem. Acceptance of a uniform plan to help allocate funds and implement technology.
Yes. I believe that the divide will close between the HBCUs.
No.
I don't think it will close in the near future because of those who are not sensitive to the fact that there is a digital divide and the fact that it effects minorities mostly.
.... I believe that whatever the Lord sees fit will happen.
Yes
I am not sure if it will close or not but the only way for us to see if it will is to take the proper actions to enforce the advancement of materials needed for students at HBCUs to acquire the knowledge of those other higher institutions

Yes, I am. What is required is commitment on the part of management. Once the infrastructure is established, I believe that faculty will for the most part embrace the technology.

Not very optimistic, but it is possible to overcome the divide with appropriate financial, human and technological resources.

Yes, but it will take a lot of effort from all levels, form administration to students

I am not confident about a particular time frame, but I do believe that with the early exposure of students to the use of technology--the gap will eventually become extinct.

No.
