How did that great tower of learning, HOWARD UNIVERSITY, give a full scholarship to a WHITE woman?

".....................Following the completion of high school, Dolezal attended Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, receiving her bachelor's degree in 2000. After Belhaven, she attended Howard University, a historically black college in Washington, D.C., where she received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2002. Her parents and brother said that upon applying to Howard, Dolezal was assumed to be black by the admissions office and subsequently received a scholarship from the university. Her brother Ezra said, "Because of her work in African American art, they thought she was a Black student during her application, but they ended up with a White person." Her father said, "eyes were popping and jaws were dropping because they couldn’t believe they had given a full scholarship to a white girl", although he stressed that "she didn’t pose as black; she just sounded black on the phone." Her thesis at Howard was a series of paintings presented from the perspective of a black man, and sparked a controversy after Dean Tritobia Benjamin, a specialist on black women in the arts, questioned whether Dolezal was qualified to tell this type of story as a white woman. Dolezal said she was taken advantage of sexually by a man when attending Howard University, and that "suing was nearly impossible."

Dolezal's Eastern Washington University profile stated that she has begun pre-medical studies to "engage in life-saving surgery efforts around the world.'".. Wiki; Early Life and Education

Wow. Just, wow. She is one screwed up young woman. I imagine her whole world has come crashing down around her, and this fantasy she’d erected since first applying to Howard is lying around her feet, smoldering. I feel sorry for her, to be honest; I’m afraid we may read about her suicide in the very near future - I sincerely hope not.
