Hilton said they are still conducting the feasibility study in regards to the capital giving campaign. lol
What did I tell you. When in doubt, these folks are always going to hire some consultants, commission a focus group or talk about some damn report.
It's the song as old as time. Remember, they told us that they were definitely going to roll out the giving campaign last year and I told you then it was a lie.
They are not going to have a giving campaign ready in 2024 either.
This is what jive turkeys do when they know they are not close to meeting a deadline. They stall and then try to push the responsibility to somebody else.

So… you weren’t contacted by the firm for an interview to give your insight for the capital campaign? |

Why do I need to wait for next weekend? West Coast said he already gives his cash. Surely he can tell us how it works. Just like you can tell us how the A&T football collective worked this past year that you were a member of.

You can attend the AAF meeting to find out more information about the official collective. |

Anyways…
It’s interesting that the lawsuit filed by FAMU students was thrown out. Chancellor Martin’s comment on it and alumni suing in NC were interesting.

Anyways… It’s interesting that the lawsuit filed by FAMU students was thrown out. Chancellor Martin’s comment on it and alumni suing in NC were interesting. Very interesting indeed...I was also intrigued by his thoughts on Supreme Court decisions, out of state cap increase, social issues in our country and how that could continue to drive our enrollment increases. The high priority facility requests to be made of the state. Their engagement with local and state leaders to make that happen...and making sure those leaders are aware of (agree to) and understand that the gap in funding has to be closed. He would rather push the current leadership for increased funding than to try a lawsuit that that would not never bring us anything close to what we are owed...if anything at all. I was glad to see increased funding and support for the Band Program...and the new dorm and other constructing and improvements are underway. Thought of one poster in particular when Pompey started talking about War Memorial...the upgrades that are planned and the moving the softball stadium to the location. He gave a lot of information without giving any specifics on this "Multiphase" project. All that said, I was happy to see that he said things would start kicking off this summer. I had to laugh when Hilton's slides showed the MEAC and Big South..."Former Conference"...sad thing is I could tell which conference was which by the rankings and post season births. I'm still glad we made the moves we made. Martin's comments on HBCUs...who we serve and how we have traditionally tried to keep tuition low, then as a result...how that has impacted our ability to have some of the facilities people are now clamoring for was spot on. All that said, I expect tuition and fees to be going up in the years to come and I expect more and better facilities as a result. How many times did he say "no excuses", and "unapologetically" when it came to competing. He ain't playing, and will use any influence he has to pick a new leader who thinks the same way he does. |

The VC of Finance is involved in that War Memorial Project. Hopefully, ground breaks this June. Otherwise, we’re gonna see more Alumni jump on Bornthrilla’s side. |

Break ground on what? You don't even know what the supposed plan is for this summer because after two consecutive presentations by Robert Pompey, they still have not provided any details.
