[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$250 Million.  Wow?

Youu could literally the HBCUs afloat with that kind of money.[/quote]

Actually no.  That $250M was spent over 8 years.  And earlier in the thread there are comparisons to the U of M overall budget.

Howard alone receives about $200M per year from the federal government as an appropriated support amount.  That's a good chunk of its budget but not a majority.

It seems like the money might be enough to run only Morehouse for two years.

There are more than 100 HBCUs with estimated 228K students.

Big numbers are pretty mind-blowing, I get that.  But the math's not mathing on the PP's statement.

Sure. PPs math is an exaggeration but the sentiment that it would have been better spent as a donation to HCBUs isn’t so easily dismissed.
