Having a granddaughter at Southern who studies hard, I resent that remark and if I said what I would like to in the comments, Kingfish would have to censor or remove it. How dare that person make that remark!

If thats the way you feel, go ahead, I'll this one by.

That's about as idiotic a statement as I've ever heard.

What kind of an asshat says such a thing? Oh, the Alumni President, that's who!! Yes, the same alumni who graduated SUNO!

He'll be a long time living that one down. Was he drunk or effed up?

One of various mission statements on their website:

Mission Statement: The mission of Southern University and A&M College, an Historically Black, 1890 land-grant institution, is to provide opportunities for a diverse student population to achieve a high-quality, global educational experience, to engage in scholarly, research, and creative activities, and to give meaningful public service to the community, the state, the nation, and the world so that Southern University graduates are competent, informed, and productive citizens.

Does make reference to graduates, though.

kingfish, how about investing a day going down there , hanging out, and giving us your impression?

Kingfish..the race baiter.

Put it out there!
Kingfish for attorney general!

Post the TRUTH,K'fish!
You always do!


Kingfish for attorney general!

I believe, while historically a black college, Southern is an integrated school.

Anon 5:05PM you are an ass to try and make this a racial discussion. You do a disservice to all races by your comment and should perhaps take it to the bugle.

Any institutional administrator of higher learning who makes this type of statement is obviously not fit to administrate. If I were an alum I would certainly be writing a letter as I speak; handwritten and penned with my name.

Could it be that 10:48am is talking about USM and not the other Southern?

Colleges and universities should only accept those capable of graduating.
They should only graduate those who have EARNED a degree based on performance.
Once upon a time, a degree from an accredited institution of higher learning assured a minimum level of general knowledge of many disciplines. IHLs taught logic and critical thinking . One had to be able to comprehend, not just memorize and regurgitate.
I'm wouldn't be outraged by this statement if I didn't suspect the goal is not improving the value of a degree but is rather to keep the tuition pouring in for one student as long as possible.
When will we face that not every young person can be or should be a college graduate?

Charles Murray pointed out a few years ago that among the cognitive elite -- the top 5 to 20 percent in terms of IQ, depending on how you view these things -- it's still the 1950s. Oh, they may have sex before marriage, but they certainly aren't having children. And when they get married, they are much more likely to stay married.
