THE MAGNA CUM LAUDE LIAR STRIKES AGAIN
” On Thursday, April 2, Mangum made a surprise visit to Crosby Hall. Her appearance was only made known to a few select students enrolled in Dr. Myra Shird’s Argumentation and Debate class.”
Why North Carolina A&T State University?
Why Dr. Myra Shird’s Argumentation and Debate class?
What’s the connection?

Dr. Jarvis Hall, director of the political science department at NCCU, attended North Carolina A&T State University as an undergraduate. He says he grew up in a rural town in the the state and might not have been able to rise to such academic success had he not attended small, nurturing institutions. Now, he sees his role at NCCU as doing the same kind of work in building a stronger Black middle class. Approximately 60 percent of NCCU students receive financial aid, and 81 percent are Black.
“I’m very proud to be here. There’s a real sense of mission,” Hall says. “I’m trying to reach people who ordinarily wouldn’t have the opportunity for a good education.”

Pride returns, gingerly For Duke students and alums, dismissals are good news, but they’re holding out hope all charges will go

EXCERPT
A North Carolina NAACP officer yesterday urged observers of the case not to jump to conclusions.
“We just don’t want people to prosecute this case in the press and the news media,” said Jarvis Hall , political action chair of the state’s NAACP and a professor at North Carolina Central University, the school the 28-year-old accuser, who is black, attended. “We want the evidence to speak for itself.”

My interest in the Duke lacrosse rape case may go beyond that of the typical Durham resident.
I am African American. I have lived in Durham, off and on for about 20 years. For much of that time, I have been directly affiliated with the two principal institutions involved in the case, Duke University and North Carolina Central University.
I received my Ph.D. in political science from Duke. Since 1995, I have taught at North Carolina Central University, chairing the Department of Political Science from 1998 to 2005.
In addition, my major area of specialization is black politics. Therefore, race-an issue that permeates the Duke lacrosse rape case-is central to my teaching and research.
But actually, my interest in this case transcends all these attributes.

Let me tell you what. If this article was written by anyone enrolled at NC A&T, the Chair of their English Department has just raped every student at that university and sodomized my mind.
What a completely horrid piece of writing. It might get a gold star in third grade, but that’s about it. I had to read it twice, just because I couldn’t believe how poorly it was written.
