Update: Mary Schmidt Campbell, Spelman College president, posted a letter on the college website taking exception to the series, "SpelmanPresident Responds to the Inaccurate Portrayal of HBCUs by The AtlantaJournal-Constitution." Campbell argues that the series served as a "...concerted and prolonged assault on historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)."
