Florida A&M University Sets New Enrollment Record 13,089 up from the 13,070

Cholly you need to let go and move on off from Gainous and Castell...that is past and if you keep living in that you will only make yourself ill.

Look up George Santayanas most famous quote.

And by all means... you have my permission to stop ASSUMING things.

I dont have to assume it is in pure black and white on this board, if something comes up with FAMU; you automatically go back to the Gainous and Castell blame game. I am not a graduate of FAMU; nor did I want to attend FAMU. I dont like or dislike FAMU, got family members who are graduates; but the fact remains the same that Gainous and Castell are gone and your beloved Dr. Ammons is at the helm and stop looking in the rearview mirror...

How'bout YOU stop reading my posts if you have a problem with them?

BTW... have you found that Santayana quote yet?

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. "
-George Santayanas

That quote or are you just talking about the last sentence; which has been overplayed and used as a crutch way too many times.

I remember back in the early 80's, I think FAMU's enrollment was about 5,000 students?  Tenn State's enrollment was about 7500 students. Its interesting to see how much FAM's enrollment has grown over the years. I keep thinking with TSU being the only public hbcu in the state of Tennessee, that their enrollment should have also broken the 10,000 mark long before now...I think its about 9500 students now. If I am wrong, I am sure NOVA will post figures letting me know the correct number.  Growth is good - growth in enrollment is good; growth in programs is definitely good. Growth in endowments is excellent!

I think we get a lot of interesting information on this board. 

Considering the size of Tennessee's Black population, I don't think that we are going to see TnSU get too much larger than 10-11K students.  With the exception of the western third of TN around the Memphis area, and to a lesser extent, the Nashville Metro Area, there isn't a huge Black population in TN.  TN progressively gets whiter the further east you go.

TN progressively gets whiter the further east you go.

And thats the state I was born in....


...AND THEY CAN HAVE IT!!!

That's the one. The fact that you think it's a crutch means YOU don't understand what it means or how it applies to THIS particular discussion.

Go back and read it again until the lightbulb goes off.
