It has been an outrage of mine about the Stipulation of Settlement on the campus of Tennessee State University. It has been mandated that we must have a 50/50 ration of minorities/majorities on campus. This was passed down from the Tennessee Board of Regents and the Tennessee courts. Another plug is that the white students only need a 2.5gpa and a VERY LOW ACT score to receive a FULL SCHOLARSHIP from TSU. That's plain ridiculous My gpa is almost a 4.0 and I'm taking out loans. We have a new discrimination on the horizon, a new form of racism. And it will not totally take form until it hits us in the face.

Hmmm. I wonder will Memphis State or the Univ of TN have to have the same ratio at their collegess.......NOT!!!!
And then to top if off, those larger predomintaely white institutions did have a scholarship or two for a minority student (mind you , I did not say black) in order to fullfill their affirmative action quota, the requirements were the same as any other academic scholarship, except it was specifically allocated to a minority student. Why does TSU have to lower their standards?
Why can't TSU just offer the affirmative action scholarship or two like the other PW universities?
