LOL Papa John's founder gives $1M to historically black college

[get these nets]

You've never heard of it because dude that runs it bought an old Bible college that nobody went to and took advantage of some loopholes and technicalities to get it officially labeled a HBCU Back in '06. It has virtually no students, but gets all the tax breaks that an HBCU is given.

I'd never heard of it until it was mentioned in YC related thread. (Yvette Carnell)
I thought I knew all the HBCUs and was puzzled about Simmons. Thanks for the heads up about the origin.

Papa John's also gave a big donation when Bennett College was fundraising to protect its accreditation earlier this year.

Trying to buy us to save his dead reputation..fukk him.

Dude said in Indiana he saw Black men being lynched, and it was just a normal day.

First off, you have to understand that this is a "college" that only has about 100 students and a 0% graduation rate. Yes, you read that correctly. ONLY 100 STUDENTS. A ZERO PERCENT GRADUATION RATE. So no, I can't say he's helping out the students

As far as employees, virtually all of the administrative staff is made up of people that already work for his church. The teachers aren't paid shyt and the groundskeeping and custodial staff is a mix of temps and people that already do the same job at his church.

The school is practically a front.

Tell me more about this 0% graduation rate.

Good we will take the money.


But its still... fukk yo pizza.
