<p>Great article. Makes me proud to be an alum and makes me wish I took the Poverty 101 class when I was there.
Good points on the criticism Dima343. There aren’t any fraternity houses on the river anyway. That’s off campus housing. Shows the effects of parchute journalism there. I’m guessing the “black part of town” is Diamond Hill?
But to be fair to my fellow journalist, the point of that background was to say W&L is a pretty unlikely place to find an innovative program on poverty. It is, by any measure, a rich, conservative, white school.</p>
