campus is a fricking war zone


Apparently most HBCUs are... Had a family friend that was offered a full ride to play softball at an HBCU with a minority scholarship... After her visit and offer, her mom asked me what I thought and I told her no way in hell I drop my daughter off at a school where the coach tells me to not let my daughter live on or near campus...

What is LSU getting out of this?

They won’t be blasted in the media as racists.

Southern, along with Grambling, tends to be looted by people running their own scams at every level. The band director, the concession sales at games, the registrar, the school president… everyone.


Yes. Interesting situation currently at Southern, though. Their new President is from the Midwest and has no previous ties to Southern specifically or to HBCUs in general. He is already identifying changes that need to be made from top to bottom to make the organization productive. I hope he is successful.

I wish him luck. He will need it.

People each running their own grift is institutionalized into that school.

"It comes down to money with these things. LSU is a [predominantly White institution] and has a lot of more money than Southern, which gives them an upper hand by providing better resources,"


Hilariously, LSU is way more diverse than Southern.

Unclear.
The heavy lifting? Half the grant for the most of the work?
I don’t know.
There was talk show discussion last week but details seemed vague.

Why is it called the “A&M” Agenda? Is it modeled on the partnership between TAMU and Blinn?


Nothing to do with TAMU
