Clarification
Clarification from an earlier SU Legislative Alert, that should have read:
Phase one is the merger of SUNO and UNO. The second phases are contained in other legislation to place Southern University at Shreveport under a two-year college system.
These bills could dismantle the country’s only Historically Black College System.
Please share with friends and supporters.
