Fam, that’s brutal for Howard. Their credit rating is junk status and they have to pay before they get paid? That’s not good.

Morris Brown Hanging On In Wake of Scandal
New building was being constructed, and was supposed to have been finished by Fall 2018, but slower contractors have extended the wait.
The fact that he just got that one picture up, he sending a clear message.......
I know a lot of people souls are burning.
Every comment on that post is positive...if there's a negative one I didn't see it.
Yup...damn shame.

I could run that school better than them nikkas. Everytime I had to go to the A building I had the
face. I can’t be that hard to run a school if these bullshyt colleges out here with way less funding can have better functioning administrations. The people at HU just don’t give a fukk.Man if he did that then buddy has even more problems than I thought.Maybe he deleted the bad comments?
They didn’t drop admissions standards, they just didn’t raise them at the same pace as other schools.
You can’t have an HBCU w/ a 27 ACT requirement, there aren’t enough Black kids w/ test scores that high to go around
It’s not any different than it’s always been.
Howard in the 80s >> OSU standards wise, because OSU was open-enrollment.
If you have 50k kids willing to apply and attend your school even when you raise the ACT and GPA percentile to 90th of the national average, you’re golden.
No HBCU has that luck, unfortunately.
The closest are Howard, Morehouse and Spelman (XoLA as well).
I'm pretty sure during the golden era of HU, you would need more than a 2.7 GPA to qualify for HU. If black students knew they needed a 27 ACT to get into a decent school, they'd work harder. We don't have to lower standards for black students. HU doesn't need to have a huge incoming class each year but less students dependent on financial aid would be nice. HU is definitely off most peoples list but Spelman seems to be holding on OK.
I don't think so. The average GPA has consistently gone up over the last few decades, and Black students are well aware of the need for a reasonable ACT score, there are still plenty that get them, and go off to the Ivies, Nationals, major liberal arts, and big state schools.
And you'd need to attract either more wealthy students (who have the means, and the educational backgrounds to go better endowed schools, generally), or create a culture that is inviting to the "Excellent Sheep" of the secondary education system
Spelman does do it quite well, really better than any other HBCU.
