Wright State University opened in the 1960s… would it be correct to assume that it was opened because non-black students in the area did not want to attend the historically black university that was right in front of them?

I’m white and I’d feel like I was undercutting the purpose of Central State if I attended. Also, would whites be welcome there?

Yes, you would be undercutting the original purpose that caused its existence, which was to maintain a racially segregated public university system. As far as welcome, why wouldn’t a historically black university, like any university, welcome more student interest, particularly in a time when many universities are struggling to fill seats in their classrooms? Central State University probably does not want to be the next University of Akron in the news.
