To be honest, yes we do disagree. Improving acedemics is what Howard need to do. If anything taking a page out of Spelman’s book I’d what they need to do. Good and consistent results is what they need to accomplish. Merit based scholarships won’t do this. Yes top students do need something to get in the door, however most top students are smart enough to to be swayed by hype, culture, and a discount. Improved​ acedemics is what will bring them to the fold. Also your argument that merit based aid will indirectly increase the endowment is faulty in my opinion. Howard already has many wealthy/ upper middle class graduates they seem to not find their experience worth while enough to donate regularly, whose to say these new merit based students wont feel the same?
