<p>Sorry, I didn’t mean to cause offense. That was just my understanding of the situation. I didn’t realize that about the school of Journalism. That’s interesting. I can understand how you feel that merging the two schools would fill in some gaps for both schools.</p>
<p>I agree that, ideally, HBCUs should move away from being HBCUs and try to become more diverse. Practically speaking, though, this isn’t going to happen any time soon and any attempt to force the issue on FAMU, or any HBCU, will probably backfire. Maybe this is wrong, but I can sympathize with black folks who find value in being in an environment with other people of the same race where they are the majority and no one feels pidgeon-holed by stereotypes.</p>
