The information is incomplete because a large number of departments did not respond, including many at the traditional black colleges and universities. Other attempts to elicit information will be made. The total number of black faculty listed at both predominantly black and white universities is 151. However, other data compiled by the APSA Survey of Political Science Departments, 1982–83, show a total of 183. Whatever the case, black faculty at best number 183 out of a total of 5,114 or 3 percent of all political scientists. The list is presented in Appendix 1.
