...maybe a safer and more academic environment has something to do with it...fewer jocks, jerks and thugs with more emphasis on education and less on sports...???

Fewer Marines don't make less the quality of our soldiers in our Army. Does it? The higher standards to get a degree from Alabama A&M University cause or forces some students to take their chances of getting a degree at other places or schools, like at trade schools or religious schools. Same as some folks prefer the Coast Guard as to the Marines when seeking a branch of the military to serve. Then on top of that, with descendants of former Slaves' children having an unemployment rate in America at about 35% or higher, we can expect to see a loss of 1,000 or so students attending college at Alabama A&M University, or any college originally for the descendant children of former Slaves, not just Alabama A&M University. Then on top of that, what good is it to get a top-notched college degree from a college as seen on t.v. when no jobs are available for most of the graduates in today's economy? It makes no sense to me to brag about high numbers of students, when folks already with college degrees have no where to apply their learned educational skills.
In other words, this article is just another negative portrayal of Alabama A&M University for no reason other than to just write something. We never read about Marines numbers being low and then the Army soldiers are bragged on because lots of folks like the Army and Army numbers are high as opposed to the Marine Corp. numbers, when you need to go somewhere to get a JOB because nobody is hiring.
Personally, I'll be glad when the numbers get down to about 3,000 students at Alabama A&M University with all graduates getting a job in their perspective fields of study. Rather than having all of these unhappy folks walking around with college degrees and working at Wal-Mart as store greeters and then blame Obama for no jobs being in America for them. Then Obama, with a Harvard University Law Degree has to look like a moron and say he is trying to create jobs, when it known that
