Abstract	While research has shown that the racial diversity of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) is increasing, literature suggests that some stakeholders at HBCUs feel the diversification of Black colleges could change their culture, which some see as vital for promoting the success of Black students. Given this, the following study discusses findings from 1 set of stakeholders at an HBCU--student affairs practitioners--in order to understand their perspective toward the racial diversification of Black colleges. This instrumental case study not only examined perceptions of HBCU student affairs professionals toward the racial diversification of Black colleges, but also their efforts to foster a more inclusive campus climate for non-Black students. This article is important because it provides salient context for HBCUs as they further seek to increase the racial diversification of their student bodies. (As Provided).
