re: Has Affirmative Action caused HBCUs to crumble?

No. It is because some( certainly not all) HBCU's are run by crooks have to take their "cut" before the money is handed to the school.

South Carolina St. is one example. How the hell do you not have a CPA in the administrative staff looking over the money? It's maddening. Not to mention the fact they just had a shooting on campus a couple months ago where a kid died. Hell even my little podunk school in Florence didn't have these problems.

I was looking at SCSU coming out of HS( mom is an alum) but there's a whole lot of bullshite going on there and every couple months bad news is coming out of Orangeburg. Not worth the trouble imo.
