Tuskegee University Exposed
Historically Black Colleges have always had issues in regards to finances, probably with the exception of top ones such as Howard and Morehouse.
However, they've always been beacons of hope for underprivileged students. These students flock to HBCUs when denied admission from other colleges, and normally graduate with high honors.
Until now.
It seems that students at Tuskegee University are so fed up with the administration cutting corners, that they have taken to the internet as a medium to vent out their flustrations.

It seems that the president, Benjamin Franklin Payton has silenced the students before, so instead of risking expulsion, these students have utilized the anonymous benefits of the internet.
It seems that time will tell, but as of now, it looks like as of though the school are oblivious to the complaints of the students.
The students listed many complaints, such as dilapidated housing, substandard education
, inadequate cafeteria food and misappropriated financial aid funds.
