If the standards were substantially raised at NCCU many of its students could not attend.

Um, Only 28 percent graduate after four years. With a number like that, it's a waste of taxpayer dollars if they don't raise their standards.

Perhaps shutting NCCU and replacing it with a trade and vocational college that could provide practical training
and education that would actually benefit the majority of the those that couldn't meet graduation standards
at NCCU?

Me thinks the school serves those employed by the school, rather than the students. And in that regard, they are not unique.

I can't argue that it is worth it, but 28% graduate, which is better than them NOT graduating. Maybe the other 72% learn SOMETHING while they are there. I do favor offering the ability to better onself to as many people as are willing and able, because it ultimately benefits not only those who graduate, but also the rest of us who benefit from the abilities gained while they are in school, hopefully translated into actual economic betterment.
