HBCU Hoops D1 Power Rankings

Posted on Jan 16, 2014

1. North Carolina Central (9-5, 1-1): The Eagles remain atop the Power Rankings, but their lost to Florida A&M definitely diminished the margin between them and the rest of the field.

2. Norfolk State (10-7, 4-0): After a solid performance in a tough non-conference schedule, Norfolk State is back to doing what it does best–beat up on the MEAC. The Spartans haven’t lost to a conference opponent since the 2012 season.

3. Southern (8-9, 4-0): Starting with the infamous Champion Baptist win, Southern has won five in a row, including its first four SWAC games. The young Jaguars seem to have grown up quick from their tough non-conference schedule and look more than capable of defending their league conference tournament championship crown.

4. Hampton (8-8, 3-0): The Pirates have gone 5-3 since November, including wins over Winthrop and James Madison.

5. Texas Southern (6-9, 2-1): Taking the three overtimes to beat Prairie View was probably more concerning than losing to Southern. Still, with Mike Davis on the bench and Aaric Murray on the court, this team is not to be overlooked.

Spring Semester Classes to Begin at WVSU After Chemical Spill Fouled Water Supplies

Posted on Jan 16, 2014

For the first time in four days, West Virginia residents can now safely use the water by any means after a chemical spill contaminated water supplies for hundreds of thousands of people.

Waterlines on the West Virginia State University campus were flushed throughout the day on Wednesday, Jan. 15, and university offices were open the same day for students to make payments, visit the bookstore or make any other necessary arrangements, according to a school report.

The school also reports that “tap water is now available for regular use”, including drinking, cooking and bathing.

Last Thursday officials urged West Virginia people not to do anything with the water when thousands of gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol leaked out of from a storage tank on the nearby Elk River: “We don’t know that the water is not safe, but I can’t say it is safe,” said Jeff McIntyre, president of West Virginia American Water.

Recently the West Virginia American Water Co. said it had lifted the ban for 26,000 customers.

Spring semester classes at WVSU begin Tuesday, Jan. 21.

A professor from historically black Spelman College recently won an Idea Capital Grant that supports a diverse group of Atlanta area artists. Recipients of the grant are to receive a total of almost $10,000.

Using technology to make dance more entertaining, Spelman professor and choreographer T. Lang will create Post Up, a “meditation on love and loss using sensors and software to add a new technological dimension to the expressive language of dance.”

Ideal Capital selected eight other projects after “careful consideration” of 106 entries from Atlanta artists and collaborative teams:

“All of the artists who will receive grants from $500 to $1,500 have demonstrated commitment to Ideal Capital’s mission of recognizing the kind of innovative, risk-taking works unlikely to be funded by more traditional revenue streams,” according to a release statement.

“Within an Atlanta landscape defined by continuing art gallery closings and cutbacks in arts funding, Idea Capital remains committed to ensuring that the city’s creative class finds opportunities to produce and exhibit their work.”

MLK Was a Revolutionary, Not Just a Dreamer

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 15, 2014

Today, on what should have been Martin Luther King Jr.’s 85th birthday, it’s time to reflect on his legacy and reimagine the significance of commemorations attached to his name.

King’s outsized iconography towers over contemporary American race relations. Through a hard-won national holiday, hundreds of books, an endowed lecture series and, most recently, a memorial dedicated in 2012 in the nation’s capitol, King’s image has become a permanent fixture in public memory.

King’s prophetic vision of American democracy, heroic efforts to mobilize black Americans for justice and brief, sacrificial time on the public stage have become part of a national mythology of the civil rights era. In this telling, King emerges as a talented individual whose rhetorical genius at the March on Washington helped elevate an entire nation through his moral power and sheer force of will. Like the Old Testament prophet Moses, King was allowed to see but not cross over into the Promised Land.

President Barack Obama hailed King’s legacy as offering inspiration for his own presidential run in 2008, and he characterized himself as part of a “Joshua Generation,” whose ability to achieve professional and political success derived from the sacrifices made by King and earlier generations.

Yet missing from many of the annual King celebrations is the portrait of a political revolutionary who, over time, evolved into a radical warrior for peace, justice and the eradication of poverty. During his last three years, King the “Dreamer” turned into one of the most eloquent, powerful and scathing critics of American society. King lent his moral force and power to antipoverty crusades that questioned the economic system of capitalism and called for an end to the Vietnam War.

King’s friendship with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee activist Stokely Carmichael also impacted his political outlook. Although he disagreed with the term “black power,” he refused to criticize Carmichael or the movement he gave name to. Carmichael’s vociferous human rights declarations touched King and helped inspire his own more celebrated antiwar stance. On April 15, 1967, Carmichael served as a powerful warm-up act to King’s keynote at a massive peace demonstration that began in New York’s Central Park and ended at the United Nations.

Conservatives, liberals and moderate civil rights leaders claimed that King was in over his head, suggesting that he had been mesmerized by black power militants, and discrediting his foreign affairs expertise in a manner that sought to undermine his legitimacy as a Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist.

To King’s credit, though, the more denunciation he received, the further he pressed on. By 1968 he was in the middle of organizing the ambitious Poor People’s Campaign, designed to bring together a multicultural sampling of the nation’s poor to camp in a tent city on the Washington Mall until Congress passed significant antipoverty legislation. According to King, the war on poverty had been sacrificed by expenditures spent in Vietnam.

Howard University’s Ranking Drops 22 Spots in U.S. News Best Colleges

Tommy G. Meade Jr.

Posted on Jan 14, 2014

Director of data research at U.S. News Robert “Bob” Morse recently gave details on why Howard University fell 22 spots in the most recent Best Colleges rankings report.

The man behind the U.S. College News Ranking said Howard’s decline during the 2014 data collection was “mainly due to its administrative inability or refusal to report its most recent data about itself to U.S. News.”

Howard fell 22 spots to No. 142, having previously been ranked No. 120 in the 2013 edition. The historically black university is now undergoing changes in administration after Sidney A. Ribeau announced his retirement from presidency the same year, puzzling many: “Howard University president, Sidney Ribeau, was a force for good!” tweeted John Silvanus Wilson, president of Morehouse College.

But Morse says there were many factors behind U.S. News‘s recent report on Howard, and that the school’s rankings fell “sharply” during the Ribeau era.

Robert Morse, U.S. News:

There were many factors behind Howard’s rankings decline during Ribeau’s time in office. The school dropped from being in the top 100 in the 2010 edition to today’s position because its ranking scores in academic peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, student selectivity, faculty resources, alumni giving and graduation rate performance all fell relative to other schools in the National Universities rankings.

The indicators where Howard’s performance deteriorated since 2010 account for a total of 82.5 percent of the U.S. News ranking model. In other words, Howard experienced declines in almost all of the key academic indicators used by U.S. News, which resulted in its drop in the rankings.

In the current rankings, Howard is listed as a “school that refused to fill out the U.S. News statistical survey” during our winter and spring 2013 data collection. In Howard’s case, we gave the school credit for all the ranking data that it did report to U.S. News during the previous data collection in 2012.

This meant that almost all the factors used in Howard’s latest ranking were based on its previous year’s data. However, Howard didn’t report data used to compute the alumni giving rate and financial resources per student ranking variables to U.S. News for two consecutive years. For schools that skip two years of reporting data in those two ranking factors, U.S. News estimates those data points.

[divider]

Morse says the controversy rankings, which were first published in 1983, are based on 15 indicators, including “a reputation survey, admissions data, faculty data, financial-resources data, alumni giving and graduation and retention rates” that determines America’s Best Colleges annually.

“We’re not comparing all 1,400 schools. We’re dividing them up into 10 categories, like national universities and liberal arts … we assign a weight to each of the variables,” Morse told Time magazine.

“The peer survey, or the academic reputation, is the highest-weighted variable — it’s 25 percent,” he said.

In other news, veteran Washington lawyer and Howard trustee Vernon E. Jordan Jr. will lead a presidential search committee charged with replacing Ribeau, according to reports.

Jordan said Howard’s challenges over the years will not hinder the quest to find a new president and said the search committee has no timetable: “We are not in a hurry. But we know that it is urgent,” said Jordan.

Family of Unarmed Former FAMU Football Player Killed in NC Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 14, 2014

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The family of an unarmed North Carolina man killed by 10 police bullets after he crashed his car and staggered to a nearby house for help has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit.

The family of Jonathon Ferrell said autopsy results, showing a downward trajectory by most of the bullets, suggest that Ferrell was either on his knees or already on the ground when Officer Randall Kerrick fired most of his shots.

They say Ferrell never posed a threat to Kerrick or the two officers who showed up with him after a woman called 911.

“This was a murderer who was acting while on duty. Taxpayers were paying him, and he murdered someone,” Christopher Chestnut, a lawyer for the family, told NBC News. “We all deserve answers. The department needs answers.”

The suit, filed Monday in North Carolina Superior Court, names the officer, the city, the county and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe as defendants.

It seeks monetary damages, but Chestnut said another goal was to use subpoena power to force police to turn over records that have been withheld from the family. That includes police dash-cam video of the Sept. 14 confrontation, which has not been made public.

Ferrell, who was 24, played football for Florida A&M University, had recently moved to Charlotte and was engaged. His family has said he worked two jobs to put himself through school.

“If he met you only once, you would love him forever,” said his mother, Georgia. “He was a friend to everyone. I don’t care who you were. He didn’t care about color, creed. He didn’t care if you had a bad attitude — he’d love you anyway.”

According to his family, Ferrell had dropped off a coworker and was driving home at about 2 a.m. when he veered off the road and crashed his car so badly that he had to kick out the rear window to escape. The lawsuit says he walked a half-mile up a hill, toward the nearest houses, to seek help, and knocked on a door.

The woman inside, alone in the home with an infant, answered the door, thinking it was her husband coming home late from work. She saw Ferrell, quickly shut the door, called 911 and frantically reported, “There’s a guy breaking in my front door.”

Three officers went to the house. What happened next is not clear. Police have said that Ferrell ran toward the officers. One fired a Taser, but it failed to connect. Kerrick fired 12 bullets and hit Ferrell with 10 of them.

Within a day of the shooting, Charlotte police said they believed it had been excessive and charged Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter. State prosecutors are handling the case, as is customary when police are charged. The case goes to a grand jury later this month.

Kerrick, 28, who joined the Charlotte force in 2011, is on unpaid leave. One of his lawyers, Michael Greene, declined comment on the wrongful-death suit. He also declined an interview on the criminal case against Kerrick, though he has said that the officer’s actions were justified.

“We remain committed to our client and his rights and to procedural due process,” Greene said in a statement emailed to NBC News. “As such, we will try the case in a court of law.”

The police department and the city declined comment. County officials could not immediately be reached.

Toxicology reports showed that Ferrell had alcohol in his system, but that his blood-alcohol level was below the legal limit for driving.

During the confrontation, the suit says, Ferrell never behaved in a way that met the Charlotte police standard of “aggravated active aggression” required to justify the use of force. The suit accuses the officer of a series of mistakes before he fired. Read Full.

Hampton President Makes 108k Donation to Increase Hourly Staff Wages

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 14, 2014

Hampton, Va. – Hampton University President Dr. William R. Harvey and Mrs. Norma B. Harvey have given a $108,403 personal gift to HU to support a wage increase for all full-time permanent HU staff earning less than $9 an hour. Through this donation, 121 full-time, permanent HU staff employees will receive a wage increase equal to $9 an hour. This increase took effect Jan. 1.

The Harveys have made two similar donations to the University in the past. In June 2011, they donated $166,000 to increase staff wages to $8 an hour and in July 2006, they made a donation of $45,000 in support of a five percent increase to staff earning less than $7 an hour. Also in May 2011, the Harveys donated $1 million to HU to be utilized as incentives to increase faculty salaries. This was in addition to the $1 million they gave in 2001 to provide scholarships to students who wanted to become teachers. At that time President Harvey stated that without good teachers there would be no business executives, astronauts, scientists and the like. In total, the Harveys have gifted more than $2.3 million to the University over the past 13 years.

“Over the last several years, Norma and I have made donations to increase the wages of hourly support staff. While everyone at Hampton already earns more than the minimum wage, we wanted to show our gratitude to those staff members who work hard and serve the campus behind the scenes,” said President Harvey.

SU alum, wife donate $50,000 to chancellor’s scholarship fund

Southern University alum Irving Matthews and his wife Darlene have donated $50,000 to the Chancellor’s Centennial Scholarship Fund to endow 4-year tuition scholarships to two African-American males entering SU in the fall of 2014.

Matthews is a 1970 engineering graduate and a native of Lake Charles. He is the owner of Ford dealerships in Mount Dora and Stuart, Fla.

“The commitment by Mr. and Mrs. Matthews strikes at the core of the mission of Southern University – access to higher education and academic support for success,” Chancellor Dr. James L. Llorens said.

“Their commitment – they already provide two endowed scholarships in business and engineering – to Southern University epitomizes the role of alumni in giving back to the institution that prepared them for success,” Llorens said.

The scholarship fund will provide full tuition scholarships for eight consecutive semesters beginning in the fall 2014 semester. Qualified applicants must meet Southern’s admission criteria, be Pell Grant eligible, and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.50 at the end of each academic year.

The Matthews scholars will receive mentoring and academic guidance over the course of their matriculation. REFERENCED

No men allowed: ASU’s new president banned from bringing dates home

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 13, 2014

The newest president of Alabama State University has just signed a contract for a $300,000 annual salary — if in return, she promises not to bring home any men to stay or live with her on campus.

Gwendolyn Boyd is a single woman, and so long as she stays unmarried, her new contract bans her from bringing back boyfriends and dates to her home, The Daily Mail reported. Ms. Boyd, who attended both Alabama State University and Yale, said she doesn’t mind the rule and will start work on Feb. 1, the Birmingham News reported.

The contract specifically states: “For so long as Dr. Boyd is president and a single person, she shall not be allowed to cohabitate in the president’s residence with any person with whom she has a romantic relation.”
But lawyers say the contract stipulation may be stretching legal boundaries.

“I don’t know of any state that has the right to invade someone’s residence even if the state owns that residence,” said Washington, D.C., lawyer Raymond Cotton said, The Daily Mail reported. “To convey that residence and dictate what kind of romantic relationship you can have in that facility — I mean, she’s not in prison.”

Top 10 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Accomplishments in 2013 by Huffington Post

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 9, 2014

This post is co-authored with Nelson Bowman III, Executive Director of Development at Prairie View A&E University.

Each year we search the nation for the very best of what is happening at HBCUs. This year we found some terrific successes including significant philanthropic contributions, great new programs, and legal and moral victories. Consider our choices and feel free to add your own.

1. Claflin University received $4.35 million for its capital campaign. Claflin is on a roll, setting a new standard for comprehensive fundraising among HBCUs.

2. Tuskegee University received $1 million for its nursing program. Capitalizing on their strong liberal arts program, Tuskegee is strengthening its production of nurses.

3. American Baptist College became the newest HBCU. Although it’s technically not possible to add an HBCU as HBCUs had to be created before the 1965 Higher Education Act, American Baptist College was dormant for some time. It is now back. And in 2013, one of the institution’s alumni – C.T. Vivian – won the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

4. Maryland HBCUs won their lawsuit against the state for duplicating programs, hampering success. A Maryland judge called the state on the carpet for its behavior – behavior that has been discriminating against public HBCUs and maintaining racial segregation in public higher education in Maryland.

5. Bethune-Cookman College launched Fatherhood Institute. With the goal of instilling a love for learning and education in young people, Bethune-Cookman invested in fathers and sons.

6. Prairie View A&M University got on-campus polling station. Students at PVAMU fought and fought hard to secure a voting station on their campus in an effort to retain their voting rights in the state.

7. HBCUs built new partnerships in the Silicon Valley. The United Negro College Fund orchestrated high tech partnerships for HBCUs that will benefit HBCU graduates.

8. Morehouse College graduates were honored with a commencement speech from President Barack Obama. Our nation’s president told all of the Morehouse graduates that they had an obligation to each other, the larger Black community, and the nation as a whole.

9. Jackson State University offered tuition assistance to students from foster care. Foster students are a growing population and many of these students find access to college a significant challenge. Jackson State is providing opportunities where none were had before.

10. Morgan State University took a stand against homophobia, standing up for a student who was discriminated against by a national fraternity present on the campus.

Five Challenges Black Fraternities Must Address in 2014

HBCU Editors

Posted on Jan 8, 2014

Iota-Phi-Theta-Fraternity-Inc — Photo courtesy of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., Beta Mu Chapter.

By Eddie Francis

For more than a century, an effective leadership network for black male college students has existed with dynamic results. The fraternities of the National Pan-Hellenic Council—Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Iota Phi Theta—have helped provide members with avenues to become effective leaders in communities around the world.

As Iota Phi Theta celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013 and Phi Beta Sigma celebrates its centennial in 2014, (with Alpha Phi Alpha having celebrated our centennial in 2006 and both Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi having celebrated their respective centennials in 2011), questions loom about the effectiveness of our organizations.

Going into 2014, there are five critical issues that black fraternities, namely members of NPHC, must address:

1. Membership Selection

From chapter to chapter, black fraternities have come under fire for how we select potential members. In the court of public opinion, there are too many members who simply don’t seem to uphold the aims and ideals of our organizations as evidenced by behaviors such as academic mediocrity and poor social skills. At the same time, too many chapters are criticized for denying membership to men who appear to fit the respective missions of our organizations very well.

Black fraternities must clearly identify and define what makes a potential member a quality candidate and the chapters must be consistent. This is serious business. We are expected to stand on the shoulders of great men like Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington Carver, Carter G. Woodson, U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, Arthur Ashe, and countless other Black Greek luminaries.

2. Hazing in Black Fraternities

We continue to see national media stories on a consistent basis about hazing incidents among black fraternities. Hazing is not unique to our ranks, however, it affects the black community more significantly than any other community. NPHC organizational leaders have worked tirelessly to discourage hazing but significant alternatives are needed. In my commentary, “Improving the Black Greek System Through an Intellectually Rigorous Intake Process”, I call for our organizations to adopt an intake model that is based on an extensive vetting process, human resources training modules, and use of human resource metrics.
