Why WSSU Alumni Lost Their Ram Minds About the $1.3 million Chancellor's House

The news that the Winston-Salem State University Foundation purchased a $1.3 million home for the school's new chancellor stirred up a lot of controversy and questions earlier this week. SJG reads through the newspaper article and B Daht and Amber R. talk about what can be done to avoid such controversies in the future.

Continuing student enrollment has declined. Not new student enrollment. It’s important to make that distinction because there is a difference. Additionally, the UNC System assigned several targets for WSSU to hit in the new funding model, including one the University chose. WSSU did not meet any of those targets. Therefore they received less funding because they did not meet their requirements. Again, new student enrollment was not one of those requirements, but that target was reached.

I thought WSSU had a chancellor's house on campus like ECSU originally? They are eliminating jobs, but then they purchase this 1.3 million house.

The house was bought by the WSSU Foundation, not WSSU. There's a difference.
