One person was killed and six others wounded when a mass shooting broke out during a homecoming event at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University on Saturday night, creating a chaotic scene at one of the oldest HBCUs in the country.

Gunfire erupted at around 9:30 p.m. during a “tailgate celebration” near the football stadium at the historic Chester County campus, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia, according to officials.

“This is a devastating night in southern Chester County at Lincoln University,” District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe told reporters Sunday morning. “It was a chaotic scene and people fled in every direction.”

HBCU is an acronym for Historically Black Colleges and Universities

40 years ago, I remember there being 5 well-known and universally-recognized “HCBUs”

I just checked the interwebs, which reports there are now 107 “recognized HCBUs”

Sounds like grade inflation.

Among the NY Post's comments -----

"This university has a 28% graduation rate after 4 years. A 46% graduation rate after 6 years. Less than 50% who enroll ever graduate."

the historic Chester County campus, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia,

It's only about 30-35 miles west of Philly, but it's all country and small towns out there.

What really makes me scratch my head are the inner-city schools where proficiency rates for reading and math are in the teens, yet there is a “graduation rate” of 79%.

Scratch away..... :)

Our education bureaucrats -- alternatively, Democrats -- have "graduation rate" standards of social promotion, rather than proficient in basics like reading and math. All inner-city graduates need do to prove "proficiency" is to vote Democrat as they are instructed, and cash government checks.

This has become so common at HBCUs and HSs that it’s hardly news anymore. It’s like gun violence in Chicago. see heyjackass.com
