I wanted to write something neat – a tidy wrap-up of what’s happened in the U.S. since the start of the spring semester, maybe even include a call to action. A clean ending to a chaotic year. But then Donald Trump announced he was sending the National Guard to confront protesters in LA. I’ve always believed in protest – in …
Retention rates: Black students and staff are leaving because we’re tired of waiting
Share: In February of this year, I attended Dr. Darla Cooper’s presentation on Black Student Retention Rates for the Courier. Initially, the event was pitched as a potential news piece, until one of our writers made a counter-pitch arguing this issue wasn’t news, but history.
