Transparency State University

We already knew that we had attracted Republicans to our campus through the Koch’s (see our previous post on Koch money funding CJR) but why do we have to host Senator Ted Cruz also? https://transparencystate.blogspot.com/2020/07/hbcu-for-salesold-part-3.html?m=1 Isn’t this the same senator who opposes an African American woman on the Supreme Court?  What benefit does it serve us as an HBCU to host a man who does not wish to be a part of history in the making, ironically being hosted by a school named after 2 civil rights icons?     https://www.texastribune.org/2022/02/01/ted-cruz-biden-supreme-court/ Subject:   Senataor Ted Cruz's Visit to TSU Campus  Dear All, Good afternoon and hope you are doing well.
