one of these things is not like the others

If you value the views of Jeremiah Alvesta Wright, Jr. (et al) then by all means support Paul Quinn.

There is no better resource in Texas for the hate whitey intellectual left like Rolls Royce West.

thanks for the early morning laugh, "rolls royce west," truer words were never spoken

add bickel and brewer's intent to use their threats against SAC--like they've done on behalf of some of the worst disd administrators--that should be interesting-should SAC lower their standards for everyone so that every degree is meaningless, just like those from PQ?

so we can assume more of our federal tax dollars will be flushed to support student grants at this exemplary institution--for students who are apparently incapable of doing real college work?

It's pretty ridiculous that this is a "top priority" for people whose job is to run the state. Paul Quinn is private and SACS is a private organization. The government doesn't really have any business or any right to use its influence in either case. When Texas Tech was in trouble, get involved. That is a public school.

There isn't any reason to prop up a school that should otherwise go away. I know you can't say that in this case because you'll be called a "racist"; but private colleges do in fact go away all the time.

If the dollar figures in the DMN are correct, Paul Quinn spends around $28,000 per student. The campus looks terrible, where does all this money go?

Thanks Rep. Helen Giddings and the Texas Legislative Black Caucus for helping Paul Quinn College. We need the help in making sure that this college survives. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste".

I'd be a lot more impressed if each one of the "supporters" had indicated how much of his/her money they'd donated to the cause. Talk's cheap. Show me the MONEY!! (And NOT taxpayer money, either!!)

Yeah Joyce, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so these students need to transfer to real colleges and universities instead of the sham they are attending.

By the way, Joyce, might want to leave marketing garbage from 30 years ago on the shelf. Definitely lame. Might want to ask where all your federal tax money went that was sent to Bishop and PQ.

Oh, I forgot, those questions will never be asked because it might upset the same folks who are throwing a fit over letting don hill meet with consequences for bribe taking.

HBC like Spellman and Morehouse serve a purpose. Their wantabe cousins here are nothing but sinkholes.

Spellman received 20 million dollars from the Cosbys. Morehouse received 10 million over the years from Oprah. They also expanded their facilities with money from the Atlanta Olympics. Check your facts dumbhole.

There are students in SMU Grad and Law school who graduated from Paul Quinn. Some of those who finished SMU Law school are working in downtown Dallas today. Call SMU and check the facts dumb jokster.

sinkhole:

What is so sad to me is that some people do not understand that cities like Atlanta are succfessful because they embrace higher education. Atlanta has three (3) Historical Black Colleges. Dallas should be embracing all institutions of higher learning. We always talk about an educated workforce, but we are still struggling with making that happen.

No one talks about the millions of our tax dollars that go to other colleges like Univ of Texas System and Texas A&M System each year. I am not against us investing in our future with any of the institutions.

The facts are that many professional African Americans gradutate from Historical Black Instutions of higher learning.

Be open minded and know that our tax dollars should go to educate all of our children and the saving Paul Quinn College is a win for Dallas.

Stay focused, this is not about Don Hill. The courts will make a decision on Don Hill's fate.

A growing list of civic leaders are supporting Paul Quinn College's decision to appeal SACS' accreditation ruling.
