HBCUs are "punching above their weight," especially in STEM.
Despite representing a small fraction of schools, a new report from FDPRI shows HBCUs are enrolling and graduating students at rates that dwarf their institutional share of the U.S. education system.
"The State University System of Florida released a statement last week trumpeting its “upward trajectory,” even though most of its 12 member institutions fell in this year’s U.S. News rankings."

This was his answer.

St. Aug announces Trey Murphy has donated $35,000 to the school after today's open practice/scrimmage.
As a proud alumni, grateful to Trey for contributing to the future of such an important institution.
Jud Horras, president and CEO of the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence, said the men accused of sexual assault and those who saw that message and did nothing to stop it engaged in “a complete failure of membership of their fraternal obligations.”
