Applicants with mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds must demonstrate their racial identify to be predominantly African-American and the Trustees will interview and make a determination as to the qualification in those cases that are uncertain.  Information as to philosophy, commitment to the African-American race and self-identify may also be considered in such areas.
