Plenty of black celebs went to Howard

How much do they donate?

Diddy did give a million a few years ago, but it would be more sustainable if he threw an annual fundraising dinner/event to raise a few million for Howard :jbhmm:

Or, make it a part of his endorsement contracts that the parent companies contribute to Howard’s endowment :jbhmm:

Honestly, I know it’s a tired point, but until alumni money can create endowments like Non-HBCUs I don’t know if there’s much than can be done.

We (black folks, both graduates and non-graduates of HBCUs) don’t support monetarily, so it forces them to rely on the government faucet, which can be cut off or lessened at any point.

I believe HBCUs and their environment offer a lot to young black folks, but the leadership is filled with old-school thinking blacks who either refuse or have zero idea on how to market and attract the new generation. “Homecoming” is not enough to sell a kid born in the year 2000 to come to a HBCU.

It needs some new blood, IMO
Too many students graduating with dumb ass degrees that leave them broke as fukk to even give anything back.
HBCUs should only offer stem courses and cut all those other bullshyt ass degree programs out.

Not Howard... :why:


It has been some suspect stuff going on up there for the past couple years...

Guess Hampton, Morehouse, Spelman, Tuskegee and Fisk gotta hold down the Black Ivies until Howard gets its stuff together .

Brother this is par for the course at too many of our schools. We get on good footing financially for a little while and then we get stories like this. SCSU, GSU, SU, FAMU, in a few years it'll be Hampton with the move they made leaving the MEAC.

In alotta cases the people in charge of our schools finances are Jews. Morgan was having problems a few years ago and on a whim I went to their site to look at their admin and sure enough there was a hooknose in charge of the finances.

Howard's private so it's a little different but this shyt follows the same kinda pattern of stealing that goes on at all our schools. Wouldn't mind seeing who some of the people in some of these prominent admin positions other than Pres are.

Lotta times the Pres is just a scapegoat for the real thieves. That's why our schools can't ever really get stable because we're always switching presidents but the real thieves and incompetents don't go anywhere. Dr Harvey might have one of the longest current tenures of any HBCU pres but like I said he probably just fukked Hampton off athletically for the next 4 to 5 yrs.

Gotdamn

And they wonder why there's not more alumni giving. I'm not giving nothing back to this school.

Truth is, if you have a family friend in the financial aid office, adding a full scholarship or meaty refund check to your account is as easy as a click of a button. There's no oversight

exactly.. where are the so-called and influential, powerful black elite that @ab.aspectus made a whole thread about? Where are their contributions to the dire financial situations faced by the HBCU's as a whole. But yet, they have the capital, political connections and influence to affect change supposedly. This is an example of what happens when there is not a collective concentration of power, minimal oversight, dependence on corporate sponsorship, lack of reinvesting in education, etc.
