That said, there are rumors that the terms set forth in the Ayers case are finally crumbling, and that MSU and OM will be free to raise admission standards in the near future.

Yep, the HBCUs have to get to a certain level of white enrollment by 2017. They aren't even close. Jackson State opened an adult campus less than 20 miles from their main campus in Madison in hopes of getting more white students. Didn't work.

The whites in the Jackson metro that are working on graduate degrees either do it online, at MC, or at Belhaven. They aren't going to JSU. Plus, the Tulane campus in Madison is just not doing that well - they don't offer degrees that people want.

When the restrictions of the Ayers case are killed, I hope MSU and Ole Miss raise their standards to the rest of their peers in the SEC. No way a kid with a 2.0 high school GPA and a 16 should be able to get into an SEC university.
