Howard University in Financial Distress

Some crisis seems to envelop Howard every few years. They just keep treading water and making the same mistakes. And no one, including Oprah, should toss money at the problem until concrete and transparent solutions are proposed and implemented. Many schools that have not moved with the times (improving customer service) are now defunct or greatly diminished…like Morris Brown College (where the President was indicted for fraud/theft), which is another private HBCU. If Howard can’t make the grade and better serve its students…shut it down.

Incidentally, having Oprah step in might be a worst case scenario for the dinosaurs at Howard because Oprah will demand results, not platitudes.
