Abstract	Research on American universities' involvement in slavery has primarily been historical. We drew upon Critical Race Quantitative Inquiry, or QuantCrit, to devise a methodology to measure various ways Black college students respond to their institution's history of slavery, and to explore factors that may relate to these responses. Data were collected from 93 students of African descent at a Southern US institution historically involved in slavery. Multiple linear regression models accounted for 35.9% of the variance in students' emotional responses, 27.3% in behavioral responses, and 13.6% in psychological responses to the institution's enslavement history. Statistical results show the relevance of background characteristics and contemporary racialized experiences in predicting student responses. Based on the findings of this exploratory study, we recommend that as leaders of institutions with histories of slavery consider ways to address their respective histories through higher education reparations, that they consider the impact of this violent history on contemporary Black students. Next steps to expand the study and further explore the impact of university histories of slavery are proposed. (As Provided).
