We always had one student a year at Fisk (Fisk is tiny so had it been ten we would have fallen out) that was there on a transfer basis. They were just ours for a year then someone else came in. They were always cool, had a good time and felt all depressed when they had to leave because we are small family there as a result of its size. We didn't fund them because well we just didn't. Our last president was actively recruiting students that were not Black. That, amongst other things I think, is what got her "fired." I don't think the majority of students would mind a smallish number of non Black students but as a whole most students are concerned with losing that Black piece and it becoming a historical moniker. Alumni giving is actually up for us and now that I got a grown up job they will be getting an annual check from me as well.
