Greetings President Wilson, I hope this message finds you in the best of spirit and health. I wanted to update you on a few issues concerning the student body. 1.) HBCU Collation Case A very popular social media news outlet, 'TheShadeRoom' released an article around 12am regarding the pending HBCU Coalition Case. According to the article, "A federal judge recently ordered Maryland to invest more money in the state's historically black colleges and universities. As a result, U.S District Judge Catherine C. Blake ruled in their [Maryland HBCU] favor. She ordered Maryland to create a new set of unique and high-demand programs at each historically black institutions." Students are concerned about the factuality of this social media post / article. Our SGA President and Vice President have alerted members of the student body that this article may not contain accurate information. Nevertheless, students are awaiting an official update regarding the HBCU Collation Case. The President of Bowie State University, Dr. Aminta H. Breaux, has issued a statement to students that I have attached below for your review. …show more content…

This protest was not organized by any members of SGA. The organizers of the protest passed out documents outlining their demands. I will provide you with a copy of that document once it is made available to me. A meeting has been scheduled with Dr. Banks tomorrow at 10am to address the concerns voiced during the protest. Marcus Bennett, Joy Barnes, and I will be in attendance. Essentially, I wanted to make you aware of the different issues happening on campus. Thank you so much for all that you do. As always, I am available to answer any questions that you may

  • Attending An HBCU Essay

    1398 Words  | 3 Pages

    The exchange of views whether a student should attend an HBCU or a PWI has been a topic of discussion for some time now. Whether you attend an HBCU or a PWI you go for one purpose and that purpose is to get your education. So who says because someone goes to a predominantly black school they will not get the same education a person gets that goes to a predominantly white school ? Or vice versa. Many people have some sort of idea that by attending a Predominantly White Institution(PWI) one will receive a higher level of education but that is not truly always the case. Most individuals are under the impression that simply because of your skin color you have to attend that type of school. That is the problem with this case just people see it as one should attend the college with individuals who are like you but not keeping one 's education in mind.

  • Title IX Pros And Cons

    1906 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Supreme Court resolved the issue of uncertainty in Grove City vs Bell, by determining that Title IX only applied to the particular departments receiving federal financial assistance, and not to the entire intuition (U.S Department of Education,2000). The ruling was based on the fact that Title IX did not distinguish between direct institutional assistance and aid received by the school through its students. Although few athletic departments receiving federal funds directly, this ruling made it possible for almost every university’s athletic program to fall short of compiling with the laws of Title IX. Cohen v. Brown University is the most significant hard fought case involving the first prong of Title IX “proportionality”. Brown University eliminated two men’s teams (water polo, golf) and two women’s teams (gymnastics, volleyball) from the universities donor funded varsity status (Stevens, 2004). Female students sued Brown University claiming that the University had violated their rights under Title IX by eliminating these two sports. The plaintiffs also argued that Brown did not make a sufficient reduction in men’s sports or add another women’s team to compensate before eliminating the two women’s programs. The court found that the universities student population and athletic compensation were not equally

    Clearly, HBCUs provide several benefits to African-American students. Not only have they helped to combat the cycle of discrimination that minority students experienced before the civil rights initiatives of the 1960s, but they strive to provide a warm, supportive and inclusive academic environment that addresses African-American college students as a whole person. Additionally, HBCUs are increasing their efforts to ensure that higher education is accessible, affordable and achievable for individuals with unique socioeconomic challenges. Despite obstacles, historically Black institutions will continue to play a vital and significant role in the fabric of higher education.

  • Importance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities

    The issue of whether HBCU’s are still needed have been occurring constantly in today’s nation. HBCU’s have been in existence for almost two centuries now. Their principal mission is to educate African Americans, and they have. HBCU’s graduate more than 50% of “African American” professionals and public school teachers. But, HBCU’s have been facing challenges such as their decrease in diversity, financing, and graduate rates which has caused a speculation of their importance in today’s communities. I believe that HBCU’s are still needed.

  • Historically Black Colleges and Universites Give Separate but Equal Education...or Not

    708 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since the founding of Cheyney University in 1837 HBCUs have continually been established to give African-Americans an education because they couldn’t attend other institutions. Slavery was the key to whites retaining superiority by preventing African-Americans becoming educated. While some Caucasians did believe in educating African-Americans the majority were against it. The 1860s were when HBCUs started becoming more widespread, although they were hard to keep sustained because the funding generally would have to come from whites. After the abolishment of slavery, laws started to be passed to protect the civil rights of African-Americans, and allow them to get an education. HBCUs became very important after the Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson because the decision gave African-Americans equal rights, but allowed segregation, coining the phrase “separate but equal.” This meant that the only place African-Americans could go to receive an education was an HBCU. HBCUs play a very important role in the education of African-Americans compared to other colleges and universities. They historically provided a way for African-Americans to get an education that PWIs didn’t give them, they offer an environment that allows for better peer and faculty relationships, and their entrance requirements allow for African-Americans of poor backgrounds to still receive a quality education.

  • Poaching Persuasive Speech

    687 Words  | 2 Pages

    The world would be a better place if animals had a voice. Just because they’re animals does it make their existence less important? Too many animals are dying each day for no apparent reason. Why are poaching, slaughter, neglect and pollution still happening in this day and age? Can’t the government do more about this? I am passionate about the animals needing a voice and change. The government needs to help to keep them alive with laying penalties and tougher laws, for poachers in particular. Poachers should face a death penalty, especially if they have already been convicted before. Give them a taste of their own medicine, and make them realize what they’re doing is utterly disgraceful and inhumane.

    What I learned in EN099 is a lot. I learned how to write persuasive essays, reflections, thesis, and outlines. Since the beginning of class Professor Presley was emphasized to us how important it to learn how to write persuasive essays. Reasons why is because in the class we did at least about 4 to 5 persuasive essays. Each of them had to have an outline, and a thesis so she can pick out what the argument is about. The outline was to show brief of what all the paragraph would consist of.
