Not exactly an institute of higher learning.

“with procuring services of a prostitute and possession of marijuana while operating a motor vehicle.”

At the same time?

He must have had some bust to be included in a prostitution ring sting.

Oh, never mind...

Are those activities illegal in Mississippi only when you are operating a motor vehicle?

He was arrested in Clinton, Mississippi.

Not female. I looked it up.

Nonetheless, you’d think at his age he could expect high fives for that!

Correct. Historically Black College. Once upon a time, these schools were decent, albeit segregated and poorly funded, poorly equipped, and without any endowment. Now that talented Black students can do to any university in the country, these schools have fallen on hard times. Unfortunately they are often plagued by corruption among the Administration (Democrats, don't you know).

I spent a week there in the ‘70s for a conference The President at that time was Dr. Peoples who spent a year as our Neighbor in The Twilight Zone when he was on Sabbatical. His son and my Brother became good buds. I had the utmost respect for him and he and Mr. Obra Hackett, treated me like family. A wonderful week of learning and friendship.

I dunno, pot, booze and sex? That pretty much describes my college years.

At least it was prostitutes, and not underage children. So I will give him credit on that point.

Women put far more work into both hiring prostitutes and in not getting caught.

For example, women will keep up a relationship with someone they knew in high school and don't have much in common with anymore...and house sit for each other with having a trysting place in mind.

How dare anyone suggest that their relationship isn't genuine?

Women who hire a prostitute generally want a known quantity and will look to meet other women who have hired prostitutes for a reference. If they just want to get laid they can get that at a bar with enough application of alcohol, so they will be looking for something specific and they generally have to put in some effort to find it.

Some operation arranging more spurious meetings without a verification of the product in a social setting is unusual (with the caveat that lesbian prostitution is quite a bit less structured and usually is more prominent in the club scene) and so setting up a sting like this isn't likely to achieve anything because most women who hire want a social interaction where nothing overtly sexual would happen first.

Rod Paige, who was Secretary of Education in George W. Bush’s first term, and who was in the classroom in Florida with Bush when he was informed of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center in 2001, is an alumnus and served as Acting President before the recently-resigned President was hired.
