I know Mr. Joyner is quite well-off, but does he have the financial capital necessary to bring this institution to self-sufficiency? What were his plans, exactly -- to do it singlehandedly, or to create a coalition of wealthy investors to bring money back into the school?
He has name recognition, which is something MoBrown sorely lacks - they don't have the legacy of a Spelman or a Morehouse, even though they are the only truly 'black' college at the AUC. But they've never been able to get people -- alumni or other benefactors -- to donate money to them at a comparable level of Spelman, Morehouse, or even Clark Atlanta (which has problems of its own).
