  5. Coppin's students-last policies

    Coppin State University has a serious problem with very low rates of student retention and graduation.

This is of special interest to me, as I served as a member of the faculty at Coppin for 12 years, from 1999 until 2011, including service as Faculty Senate president in 2005-2007.

  8. Morgan steps back from the brink

    Now that Morgan State University's board of regents has backed off an earlier decision not to renew President David Wilson's contract beyond this year, both sides have gained some breathing space in which to reconsider their relationship and how they can work together more effectively to meet the most important challenges facing the school.
