Pittman (instruction and curriculum, Kean U.) presents the results of a research study he conducted into black participation in a collegiate honors program at the U. of Southern New England. He conducted in-depth interviews with six black students who were either dismissed from the program because of poor academic performance or had withdrawn voluntarily and a further six black students who remained in the program. The interviews focused on the participants' perceptions of academic success; the factors that influenced these perceptions; and the extent to which collegiate honors membership impacted their academic achievement, social engagements, and racial self-identities. Of central concern to the study is the extent to which feared and real accusations of "acting White" may contribute to the low participation rate of blacks in collegiate honors education.
