nova, nccu is a public college. public colleges can't wake up one morning and say we will offer phds. in north carolina there is a body known as the unc board of governors. they approve the curriculum. with unc-chapel hill and n.c. state both within 20 miles of nccu exactly what phd program should they offer. the only reason they have a law school was because they have one since 1939. the unc board of governors would never approve a new law school that close to another state law school. your contempt should not be directed at nccu. it should be directed at the unc board of governors.
His argument in the previous discussion about it, was that A & T's alumni fussed and demanded that the legislature grant them additional PhD programs. Unfortunately, he ignored that A & T, WSSU, and UNCG all have different missions (ag/engineering; liberal arts; teaching/comprehensive).
I also mentioned how there have been at least three PhD programs that have been shelved due to political interference or due to people moving on to other universities, or administrative changes.
As far as Havard taking in more black students.....what's NCCU's issue?
There are capacity, facilities, and availability of resources and competitiveness issues. NCCU admits students to our law school, so they can graduate and pass the bar. Harvard probably turns down more law school applicants than we have TOTAL enrollment. So you're comparing apples to squirrel poop.
