A survey by The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education says the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has the most tenured black faculty of the highest ranked schools in the U.S. <br>
<br>
The journal's 2002 survey shows that UNC-Chapel Hill has 51 tenured black faculty members, followed by Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania. <br>
<br>
Four of the nation's high-ranking universities, including UNC, have 100 or more black faculty members. The others are Columbia, Emory in Atlanta and the University of Michigan. <br>
<br>
For the year, blacks make up 3.6 percent of all full-time faculty members at the nation's highest-ranked universities. That's a gain of half a percentage point from the last survey, conducted six years ago.
