Do you want to call for the extermination of black folks next?
The same issues exist elsewhere, even at PWIs that are well funded, but HBCUs get more criticism because they serve a people that are loathed by others and unfortunately because they are under the watchful eye of other blacks full of self-loathing sentiment.
When College Dormitories Become Health Hazards
Putting up with dinginess is a rite of passage for many college students. Some have had to endure far worse.
1. Annemarie Cuccia saw the black mold spread through rooms in her dormitory — five on her floor in a span of about two weeks last September. Soon she spotted some mold in her own room as well, growing on walls and furniture.
Ms. Cuccia, now a sophomore at
Georgetown University, and her roommate told a maintenance worker about the mold, and workers came to clean it off a few days later. But her problems did not end there.
2. Not long after Sarah Melton moved into her
University of Oklahoma dormitory last fall, she came down with a rash, headaches and cold symptoms. Soon she was having mood swings.
By November, she had withdrawn from the university and tested positive for mold poisoning. She has since transferred to a school in Texas, her home state, and said she was optimistic about the future. But she remains worried about any lasting effects of the problems she had while at Oklahoma.
3. Isabella Henderson, a junior at
Brown University, said she had endured a host of problems in her dormitory, beginning with mold. In the late-summer heat and humidity, the walls would sweat and the ceilings drip, ruining books. The paint peeled, coming off the wall in foot-long strips. Ms. Henderson said she developed a heat rash and could not walk without pain.

Now this is just a shame! We should shut these PWIs down and read about them in history books like how we do when we read some black people believe the white man's ice is colder:
- Maryland’s College of St. Mary had to relocate 239 students after mold was found in two dorms.
- University of Delaware had to close down one residence hall and the university’s fitness center after black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) was discovered there.
- University of Louisville had to relocate 270 students after mold was found in several dorms.
- University of South Carolina had to relocate some of the students in one of the women’s dorms after they developed respiratory problems related to mold.
