Why did they only put the FACT that Texas Tech (yeah the big one in Lubbock) was also placed on probation at the END of the TSU article? To really know the effect you'd have to see the print version.
Front page: "TSU on probation"
Page 4 in small bold print: "Texas Tech also"
After I initially debated the first damn paragraph of the article, they made a few changes, further into the debate they ?slipped? Texas Tech University into the article because the first edition didn't include them none whatsoever.
I even talked to a SACS representative and there are several phases an institution must go through before the last resort of stripping an institution of its accreditation. We are in phase one and would be placed in phase two at the end of that initial probationary year if we didn?t meet SACS compliance however that newspaper states we are "one step away" from losing it.
It almost seems like the media here is just trying to slow release stuff and drive the school into the mud.
Aside from the chronicle's tendancy to elaborate, I don't think this story about TSU's accreditation is their doing. I first read about it on another media outlet that also mentioned Tech and FAMU.
Its probably because Tech is way in Lubbock and generally very few people care about it in the Houston area.
We have to because anti-Texas Southerners here in Texas loves to glorify and relish in BS such as this. This also was sent out to discourage parents to not allow their son/daughter to enroll in the Spring semester as today is the end of the Fall semester is this week.
Perfect timing on behalf of that paper if you ask me. SACS hasn't even delivered the damn report to Texas Southern yet!
Man, just when I TRY to give that sorry assed Houston newspaper the benefit of the doubt they politely come out in a "timely" fashion w/ stuff like this.
Seems like they're <b>intentionally</b> trying to discredit TSU somehow. In one way or another, they're on a mission to destroy her image and I can't stand it because I've bore witness to this bullsh*t during the 80s here. :|
Don't sneeze too loudly around campus or the chronicle will report that you put snot on the sidewalk. :retard:
Another media outlet could have picked it up from the wire after the Chronicle put it out.
There are almost as many Texas tech grads in Houston as there are TSU.

Texas Southern University is only one step away from losing its accreditation after the latest and most serious blow to a school already in crisis.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, in a meeting of its 77-member Commission on Colleges this week, placed the state's largest historically black university on probation for the first time because of the its poor financial picture.
The rare rebuke means that TSU could lose its accreditation if the university does not rectify the issues within a year.
Without accreditation, the school's academic degrees would lose credibility and its students would not be eligible for federal financial aid.
The loss of accreditation would be devastating to TSU because nearly two-thirds of its 9,500 students receive need-based federal Pell Grants.....................................................
This is disturbing, I hope Houston,TxSU alums, and faculty can get it together.
Damn TX. Southern
I seriously doubt that. The SACS results were going to be made available to the associated press whether or not TSU was on probation or not. No matter what university was at fault, it was going to get in the news. The Chronicle likely took the story and ran with it.
