    Sad to say another HBCU got hit with a similar scandal recently. It was reported I think A week ago in the NEws and Observer that Barber Scotia College in Concord, NC had the similar problem of changing grades of roughly around 30 students through their Organizational Management Degree program, which is their title for their Adult Education program.

    How can something like this happen? I know some may be the teacher's pet and examples of great looking girls who get better grades and special attention from male teachers------but this just does not seem possible. I have worked hard to keep up my grade average and think it is a shame something like this can occur. I wonder how common this could be----it raises many questions on those who do not have knowledge for jobs and positions that do get them regardless of qualification.
