There's a definitely a feeling in the Duke community that N.C. Central is the lesser institution, and I've heard Duke students make that statement," said Howard Clement, a Durham councilman for 23 years. "I don't think that's something we should ignore."

Actually there seems to be delusion among the Durmites. NCCU is a lessor institution. Does this moron not know that?
This has been one of the Walter Williams/Thomas Sowell themes, African-American advanced degree data is not as associated with income advances because a high percentage of such advanced degrees are in areas that are less academically challenging and less likely to lead to the highest incomes. Similarly, people who have "educations" from the likes of NCCU do not have the same education level ON AVERAGE that people from the average state university. But unfortunately some people think all they should have to do is get the easiest possible college degree and then they are on a par with everyone else.
In other words, they have mistaken a college degree for a college education.
