I know here at UF I see more black chicks than black dudes. (not scientific...I know)

GO Gators!

Here's a partial answer to my question:

The gaps between women and men are especially stark in certain minority populations. Among black students, women earned 69 percent of associate, 66 percent of bachelor's, 72 percent of master's, and 66 percent of doctoral degrees in 2007-8.

More Black Women than Black Men Continue to Enroll in 4-Year Colleges

I think most or all of this current gap is being caused by the big disparities in the number of minority women and men who are attending college, but the article writers don't bother to give a breakdown by race, though we get minute breakdowns by race concerning many other issues.
