This has been brought up again and again. Don’t apply if you hate the school. My kid loved the school and has a good job now.

Who said anyone hates the school? No need to get defensive. If it’s such an old story have any reparations been paid?

Ask the governor to address if you want.

Way to deflect responsibility away from the college. Nice try.

Not sure why the apps are so defensive. They’re giving MAGAs who want to erase Black history.

Here’s a prior thread on the topic, OP.

The thing is that this wasn’t long ago. This was not ancient history. Surely something is being done right?

This is a terrible thing, no doubt, but it’s to me that CNU is singled out for this. There are stories of eminent domain leading to the razing of Black neighborhoods throughout Virginia, at many universities.

It was part of William and Mary when it was founded, maybe they should be making it up somehow.
