re: HBCU’s borrow millions - don’t pay it back - taxpayers eat it

I've had some student workers from southern that were in civil engineering. They were really good workers and had a good head on their shoulders. STEM programs that are accredited usually weed out the bad ones.

And that is the average ACT score, meaning there is likely a good number below 15.

How much has Xavier expanded since Katrina? Seems the number of buildings has grown.

I graduated in 2012, but they spent a ton of money on that qatar pharmacy and a multi-million dollar church that looks like someone pocketed millions in the process.

They spent 3 years and however many millions to build that walkway in 2015 (I think just opened this past month) since students were actually slipping on the metal bridge and the crosswalk people actually (almost) hit us.

Xavier is just interesting. Undergrad is like 98% black or asian, 2% white. Pharmacy program is a better mix of black, white, and asian.

Not really an issue in my opinion.

Federal Govt lets billion dollar companies steal our tax dollars, with several getting corporate welfare.

And you want to whine about 4 colleges, who because of a catastrophe, needed the money and didn't pay it back???

I'm pretty sure most of us that took the ACT early (7th grade iirc) were getting scores in the high teens

You can score in the teens with absolutely minimal effort.

A 16 is the 25th percentile.

Do they still have single digit graduation rates?

I think it’s like 11% now. Still fricking awful.

Jackson State has brand new buildings and has the worst returns on their degrees.

MAGA!

How much money have the big banks paid back from the housing crash?

According to Obama, they repaid all of it
