St. Augustine's fires back at 'misleading' HBCU newsletter that predicts university's closure - WTVD

The coming fall semester will be a critical one for St. Augustine's future as an accredited university, but the school's president is dismissing any talk of shutting down. In an interview with ABC11, school president Everett Ward speaks head-on against an article posted online this week by HBCU Digest with a headline reading "Saint Augustine's is on the verge of closure, trustees and consultants fear." The article cited anonymous sources and posts internal university emails that include budget figures and enrollment numbers. While acknowledging the documents are authentic, Ward blasted the use of those documents because he said they're out of context and incomplete. "We had some challenges, but we're on an upward trajectory," Ward said. "We are very confident in our future." https://abc11.com/education/st-augustines-fires-back-at--hbcu-article-that-predicts-universitys-closure/3909649/
