Texas Southern University admitted 4,000 students over 3 years who were not qualified
Texas Southern University admitted thousands of students who did not meet the college’s academic criteria and awarded a total of $2.1 million in scholarships over a three-year period to hundreds of students who were not qualified, according to a recent review.
The five-page executive summary of the college’s admissions and enrollment process, obtained by the Houston Chronicle, details consulting firm Berkeley Research Group’s review into the school’s admissions, financial aid and administration practices, and cites higher numbers of students who fall short of academic criteria than previously reported.
The review, ordered by the TSU Board of Regents, revealed that half of the students — or 4,141 of 8,273 — admitted to TSU in the fall semesters of 2017, 2018 and 2019 did not meet TSU’s academic criteria and were admitted “based on a variety of undocumented scenarios.â€
In addition, more than 900 students who did not meet admissions criteria in the three fall semesters received a total of $2.1 million in scholarships despite not meeting qualifications for the scholarship or financial aid programs.

Race? Illegals? "Legacy"? Bribe-based bogus athletic scholarships?

People need to be fired for incompetence or prosecuted for criminal behavior.
Since Southern gets a lot of money from the state, I expect Texas will weigh in as well.
