President of Morehouse College removed from post. What do you expect Trump to do with HBCU's?

[BrehWyatt]

Well, Trump is fukking up the country more and more with each passing day, so to answer the question in the thread title ...

Well, I'm sure he'll get to HBCUs eventually

Nobody wants to go. The Top students can get into Emory, Tech, UGA which are cheaper (maybe not emory, but they have means to give students full rides) and have more resources. The Mid tier students can get into GA State, Kennesaw which are cheaper and have more resources, and the kids who want the HBCU experience can go to Savannah State, Albany State, and Fort Valley which are all much cheaper, and have just as good resources since they are public schools.

Morehouse will have to reposition its value proposition if they want to survive the next 25 years.

Enrollment is already approaching less than 2000 students. Infrastructure is from the 1970s for the most part.

Like I said in my other thread, we are at the point where it literally makes no sense to go to Morehouse when you can go across the street to Tech or GA State for 1/3rd the price and have access to more resources. And from a GA State perspective, they have more black students enrolled than the entire AUC combined so you won't really have the "I want to be around black folks" argument to use either.

HBCUs excel because they have a family oriented environment where students are just a random number, HBCUs need to capitalize on this, but still we have WAY to many HBCUs where we end up spreading ourselves thin trying to support each and every one of them.

Like I said in your other thread, I don't believe you know all of the resources that Morehouse affords. Speak on your experience, because what makes sense to you might not to the next person. I'm not necessarily getting doors opened by putting GA state on my resume, but being a Morehouse alum opens a lot of doors.

Morehouse is going to be fine. We need more stable leadership and our Board of Trustees are old pieces of shyt who need to lose their positions asap. But the school itself isn't going anywhere.

How is enrollment so low if their acceptance rate is so high?


Nobody wanna go to Morehouse?

Acceptance rate isn't a good way to look at things. With the common applications, and fee waivers the acceptance rate has been skewed all over the place ( think Drexel university) . The best way to look at Morehouse is the entry GPA of its students and the amount of pell students that enter. This is how you can tell the students that enter Morehouse.

The question should be what's next. There's only one HBCU that's considered tier one ( Howard University) , and there's only three HBCU's that crack Princeton review top 10 percent of colleges and universities ( Howard, Hampton, and Spellman). Will consolidation work?

Which ones would we consolidate?

The Atlanta, Birmingham, Mississippi Delta and New Orleans campuses?

I would like to see a consolidation proposal

I think so. I think we would be better off shifting our focus on 20-30 schools to make them ELITE schools opposed of stretching ourselves thin to support 100+. Some of the others can be repurposed as Community College type schools but honestly thats not worth the effort when a Community college system already exists, so I`ll correct myself and saw some schools can be repurposed to being trade schools.

Only HBCUs would be the MEAC and SWAC schools, and the other schools can merge into those based on geographic location. Tuskegee, Morehouse, Spelman are probably the only non MEAC and SWAC schools that could stay how they are but in general I would rather see all of the AUC schools merge into one university. Clark can Own Business and Mass Comm, Morehouse can own Computer Science and Engineering, Spelman can own the other liberal arts stuff.

Would you keep the residence halls and campuses in the same way (gender-segregated)?

I could see Miles-Stillman, MVSU-Alcorn, AAMU-Oakwood, Jackson St-Tougaloo blending.

Black colleges should work more to create a school to college pipeline from predominately black schools.

Most schools do gender separated for freshmen, and after that everything else is co ed apartment style. The thing is nowadays these PWIs in urban cities have student housing that rival luxury condos.

The AUC could low key buy homes in rent those out to students also.

I work in student affairs, and most dorms I know are co-ed, with gender specific floors.

I didn't know Morehouse started mandating students stay on campus 3 years

thats wild. Most schools just do the freshmen yr thing, and even then many schools in major cities have a commuter focus.

Nah a lot of schools are really shifting towards coed living now.


I know some guys at my school right now who are the only room of guys with three females rooms surrounding them.
