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


Just spelling your name correctly should get you a 15 on the ACT.

Holy frick how stupid do you have to be to do so poorly?

If you write your name on the act you get a 14

When you take kids who have ACT scores indicating they should never sniff a college campus, then see their 8% graduation rate, I can’t imagine they’re pumping out grads who will ever be able to donate



Couple this with a culture of needing to one up the person next to them

Three historically black universities in New Orleans and one in Mississippi will see about $330 million in post-Katrina debt owed to the federal government cleared under a provision in a congressional budget deal signed by President Donald Trump.

Just what I’d expect from Hitler.

So we are cool with spending $77 ($1 million each missle) to fire at foreign nations, but we are outraged as spending money to educate citizens of our nation.

That isn’t what is happening though.

No one is being held accountable for the apparent lack of educating that is going on.

They should've let SUNO close IMO.


Spot on. There was talk about merging it with UNO some time back but noooooo... we can’t do that.
By just about any metric you want to use, SUNO has one of the worst records in the country. But it remains open because well, you know, we just can’t do that. So we keep bailing it out and the taxpayers get hosed. This is pathetic.

You could say this of most HBCUs. You can almost set your watch by the "Grambling Audit Reveals Irregularities" headline every year.
