You guys have made some good points. One thing I will say is that the "right" people need to leading this schools. We get stuck on status, tradition (his daddy was president so he would make a good president) and dare I say it color.

It saddens me because I have always been fascinated with the history of HBCUs and feel that they do still serve a purpose, but due to my own personal experience I can see this happening to more schools. People asking for money need to have a plan, strategy or something worked out before they start asking for coins. Morris Brown saw this coming. Someone knew what the president and financial aid director were doing and stood by and waited to $h!t got really bad. This also makes me think about how we give our money to universities, churches, and other orgs that we are involved in. You just hope someone ain't sticking their hands in those cookie jars.
