Mississippi may close three colleges

[lennypartiv]

It does appear to make fiscal sense. They only have so much money to spend on education. Maybe other states will follow their lead.

---A new bill introduced in the Mississippi State Legislature may lead to the closure of three state universities by 2028.---

Alcorn has an undergrad enrollment of 2,346 ; Mississippi Valley, 1,654; and Jackson State, 4,763. Our local community college has 3,600 students. I see no reason the first two shouldn't go.

Anyone notice what's similar about these three? Anyone?

They are all HBCU, Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

So no surprise.

Why should we care about them?
