Leaders in the Atlanta University Center reacted to news of the sudden resignation of former Harvard University president Claudine Gay last week.

“It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president,” Gay wrote in a letter to the Harvard community.

The resignation comes after controversy over Gay’s testimony during a congressional hearing regarding her and other university presidents improperly handling antisemitic harassment towards Jewish people on campus. 

“Legitimate concerns regarding antisemitism on college campuses are being used as a wedge to divide us by those fearful of an emerging leadership of American institutions that reflects our diversity,” said Dr. David Thomas, President of Morehouse College. 

Gay also faced allegations of plagiarism in an early 2000s article regarding minority representation in political participation in California.

“After consultation with members of the [Harvard] Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this movement of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual,” Gay wrote in that beforementioned letter.

With Gay becoming the first Black person to lead the Ivy League school in its 400-year history, many wonder if her decision was racially motivated. 

“Looking beyond the unfortunate and highly complicated set of circumstances that led Dr. Gay to submit her resignation as President of Harvard University, I think it is incumbent on all of us, both in academia and outside of academia, to be mindful of the vital role that women, and especially Black women, continue to play in leadership positions across a wide range of professions,” said Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, President and CEO of Morehouse School of Medicine.

Harvard’s Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Alan Garber, will serve as interim president until a new one is announced. 

“We thank President Gay for her courage and vision as she began leading Harvard and regret that she will not be able to see her vision fulfilled,” said Dr. Helene Gayle, President of Spelman College.

With states all over already ahead of Georgia, legislators and black-owned investment firm Hemp Real Estate Investments, Inc. (HREI), are trying to make sure that more people of color will take advantage of this new opportunity that has caused many to be arrested.

For HREI, its mission is to be an investment vehicle to acquire commercial real estate properties for entrepreneurs in the hemp industry.

The founder of HREI, Tariq Khan, told The Atlanta Voice that the federal government has been against hemp for commercial purposes but says they are starting to relax the laws for daily use.

Born in Cleveland, Khan has called the metro area home since the late 1980s and has worked in the engineering, fashion, and music industries before founding HREI earlier this year.

“It’s more along the lines now as the states are taking the turn,” Khan said. “Colorado’s doing it. Illinois is doing it. Everybody’s trying to find their niche and being able to jump into a market that realistically, for our people, has been locking us up.”

Next to bamboo, industrial hemp is one of the fastest-growing plants to be used for commercial purposes. Derived from the can Sativasativa species of the plant, it contains the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The lower the concentrations of THC, and high concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD) the chemical can be used for medical and recreational purposes.

Used for over 50,000 years, its fibers can be spun into everyday products like paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, and food.

HREI’s business model includes six core components: acquisition of commercial real estate; long-term leasing opportunities and property management; leveraging minority participation; hemp education and research; and hemp accessories, products, and services.

With the hemp investment industry beginning to grow, Khan says that “we’re all at the tip of the spear” when it comes to jumping into the opportunities this new endeavor can bring to the city of Atlanta and the African American community.

With Black people being more than three times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession, according to the Americans Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Khan wants HREI to help African Americans to profit off the plant instead of being imprisoned for it.

Having what he calls having a lot of “social equity” in building relationships in many different facets of business, Khan is working with legislators like U.S. Congressman Kwanza Hall and State Senator Zahara Karinskak to create laws that will be in favor of cannabis usage and easing charges for first-time drug offenders in the state of Georgia.
Since it is illegal to buy and ship hemp and marijuana in the peach state, Khan has also been meeting with the Georgia Department of Agriculture and The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) to begin the process of hemp being grown and processed here the along with other major crops like peanuts and blackberries.

Currently, Georgia has issued a handful of licenses for growing and dispensing purposes and less than ten licenses for dispensaries in the entire state.

When mentioning this revelation, Khan says that he has seen lawmakers like Hall and Karinskak working hard to see how they can pass this progressive industry in a majority conservative state.

Last month, HREI launched its capital-raising campaign to foster high-level inclusion and create more opportunities for diverse ownership by empowering hemp businesses and entrepreneurs.
Khan says his driving force with this new venture is to “create wealth, create jobs, and create more opportunities for people of color.”

He continues, “my vision for Hemp Real Estate Investments is being able to create a new investment platform for marginalized communities that want to get into the cannabis space but have a more conservative risk appetite.”

They campaigned with Fundanna, creating a space for “your average Joe” to become investors and increase ownership of the underserved. Being the first regulated crowdfunding portal, Fundanna works exclusively with cannabis businesses in the U.S like HREI.

For those who have wanted to invest but may think it is too expensive, HREI is offering their shares for $300 to help acquire commercial real estate to be used for entrepreneurs in the hemp industry.

Intending to raise $5 million on Fundanna, Khan adds that with HREI, “we will be able to create opportunities that start to level the playing field and to see our people win.”

Leveraging Atlanta as a hub for global business and a unique climate for business success, the startup also plans to build a “state of the art” commercial real estate office space and a research and development space for entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry.

Khan wants more African Americans to invest in hemp and cannabis and thinks that they should first do their research and learn about the laws already in place for their local area. He says educating yourself could help to reduce the misinformation as to what you should and should not do concerning marijuana and hemp.

After nearly a year of virtual learning, member institutions of the Atlanta University Center welcomed students back to the residence halls.

Halfway through the spring semester of 2020, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Spelman College, and the other schools in the AUC decided to move virtual learning and close the residence halls to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Omar Estrada Torres serves as the Dean of Student Services and Campus Life at CAU, and he has made the safety of the students living on campus a high priority.

“Our parents have an advocate in me to look out for their son’s and daughter’s journey here, particularly in metro Atlanta,” Torres said. “Many of our students, many of our families aren’t necessarily from here.”

All the member institutions, including Spelman, have been using the medical recommendations the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released following social distancing and testing guidelines.

Before arrival, Spelman made it mandatory for its students to move into their single-occupied dorm room and one person who was helping her move in to show a negative COVID-19 test result.

Once settled, all three schools administered a five-day quarantine period to stay inside their residence halls until the period ended.

To let the time go by, the schools had several activities for everyone to participate in.

Spelman’s activities included virtual scavenger hunts, movie nights, Peloton Workouts with a free two-year subscription, and seminars about the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice, and voting issues.

Jaydah Jenkins, a junior at Clark Atlanta and a member of the Campus Activities Board, was one of a handful of upperclassmen students who decided to move back onto the historically Black campus during the pandemic.

“The transition was difficult just because it wasn’t the norm,” Jenkins said. “But I’m starting to become more comfortable with the new regulations.”

Jenkins said she decided to move back on campus to help provide an environment for the incoming freshmen and new transfer students as they start to get used to becoming a “Panther.”

Jenkins organized a campuswide virtual “trap ‘n paint” activity for the 500 students living on campus. She said she thought it was a great way to interact with each other safely.

“I delivered paintbrushes and canvases to each residence hall and we were all on Zoom, and we were listening to music together from inside our rooms,” Jenkins said.

Now that the quarantine period has ended and classes for the spring semester started on Feb. 1, the students, professors, administrators, and anyone who works at CAU must have a rapid COVID-19 test twice a week.

All the schools have designated isolation halls to accommodate if a student tests positive; students who test positive will receive treatment from the newly formed AUC Health and Wellness Center.

As part of Morehouse School of Medicine’s Morehouse Healthcare network, the AUC Health and Wellness Center provides quality health care services to students at the Atlanta University Consortium Center. The center provides various health and wellness-related services for students like primary care, behavioral health services, and wellness services to help them grow physically, mentally, emotionally, academically, and socially.

Torres raved about the new healthcare center because “they have a variety of specifications and it provides a lot more assets particularly for our students given their health challenges and some of the challenges that are common in the Black community, particularly with regards to diabetes, sickle, and asthma.”

When Torres meets with CAU’s President George French, the first thing he knows he will be asked is, “What are we doing to protect my scholars’ health and safety?”

Torres said he knows that the standards and protocols that the school is administering are doing that.

“I do feel safe,” Jenkins admitted. “I think I feel safer than I ever did before [the pandemic] at CAU.”

Before the start of the 2020-2021 school year, stay-at-home mom and Kirkwood resident Lindsay Crownhart realized quickly that her son, Sam, needed to be around other kids if he was going to learn.  

Crownhart said that she read an article in The New York Times in August that explained how learning pods were effective for children.

“I have a child who craves friends and there was no way I was going to start out the school year and keep him quarantined by himself,” Crownhart said.

Meanwhile, Karen Hatcher, a Kirkwood real estate and property manager, said found difficulty in running her business while also monitoring her seven-year-old daughter, Destiny, who was navigating through the virtual classroom that the administrators at Drew Charter School set up for their students. 

“As an entrepreneur, I am responsible for the growth of my business and the wages of my team,” Hatcher said. 

Hatcher said she attempted at-home learning with Destiny last spring. However, she noticed that her daughter was having a hard time concentrating on schoolwork whenever her younger twin siblings were around.

Both parents would have their paths crossed when they similarly turned to learning pods in their Kirkwood neighborhood. Learning pods, or pods, are small groups of children organized by their families so they can learn together at home in a safe environment. 

Crownhart did some exploring and came across a Facebook group that some moms in the Kirkwood community, where she and Hatcher live, came together and helped organizers gather families in “quaranteams” to learn as groups, help prevent the spread of the coronavirus and not feel so isolated. 

“Closer to the start of school, I started to see that people were formalizing the idea around online learning,” explained Jessica Sherer, the creator of the “Kirkwood Quaranteams” Facebook group, a community that has amassed 831 members to date. “That is around the time that Lindsay offered to help admin the group.”

When it came to school participation, Sherer offered families the option of creating parent-led pods (PLP) or teacher-led pods (TLP) for their kids to attend.

With PLPs, the parent helps the children in the pod with tutoring and assisting them with logging into class and other technical issues. 

The TLPs are facilitated by a person who has an educational background and charges a fee for their services. 

Having a son with special needs, Crownhart opted to take advantage of the PLP, where she facilitates the kids with other parents and also gets to spend quality time with Sam. 

She mentioned, “he needs and craves to be around other kids so I felt that it was important for me, and for his sanity, to give him the opportunity to be routed to a couple of kids, and it has made a world of difference.”

Opting to utilize a TLP, Hatcher and her husband, Mike, thought Destiny would benefit from one-on-one interaction with a tutor and “I would be able to work because you’re in a pod and so the other parents are able to work too.”

With there being costs associated with TPLs, some neighbors have created scholarship-based “angel pods” for parents who are not able to pay for a tutor to help them all day and help students continue learning. 

“I’m proud of our community for stepping up and trying to make sure that everyone can have access to it if their parents are working and they need to be somewhere,” Crownhart said. 

School systems around Atlanta appear to be supportive of the learning pods. 

A spokesperson for Atlanta Public Schools said the district understands the “desire to recreate some of the collaborative and social aspects of the traditional school setting,” and “wants to make sure that families that decide to use learning pods are “completely independent of district staff, resources or facilities.”

Likewise, Fulton County Schools are happy that parents and students have “shown creativity” in dealing with virtual instruction. The school system, which is the fourth largest in the state, looked forward to a majority of students returning to full-time learning in the middle of October. 

Realizing that some kids have not attended school after all of the school systems had gone to virtual learning back in March, the City of Atlanta stepped up and opened free learning pods at Parks & Recreation centers all over Metro Atlanta in early October. 

The goal of opening the public pods was to offer the pods for families that may not have internet or digital resources for virtual learning.

Knowing God and having an opportunity to lead Clark Atlanta University during “a time as this,” are a couple of truisms that George T. French Jr. has been grateful for when he reflected on his first year of service as the sixth president of the Atlanta historically Black university. 

Clark Atlanta University emerged from the consolidation of Atlanta University and Clark College in 1988. Its founding institutions each enjoyed more than a dozen leaders at their respective helms dating back to 1865 and 1869.

French, who was hired at Clark Atlanta from Miles College in 2019, had to face the challenges of losing a student weeks after arriving and helming the Atlanta University Center’s largest institution during a global pandemic.

“It’s actually been a phenomenal year,” French said. “When you look at the fact that we are dealing with a global pandemic, and we were able to migrate online fully for nearly 4,000 students and several hundred faculty and staff it’s unbelievable that we’ve been able to sustain our enrollment.”

Additional government funding helped the school with protecting it from spreading the coronavirus and facing a potential debt that would’ve also been catastrophic. The Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act protected higher education institutions across the country and Clark Atlanta was no exception.

“So the CARES Act had a special funding set aside for HBCUs, which was right at about $1 billion,” French explained. “So all HBCUs and PWIs (Public White Institutions) were able to benefit from those CARES Act funds, and, particularly, Clark Atlanta University, we were able to recoup some of our losses due to the CARES Act being passed.”

When Clark Atlanta and the other AUC member schools decided to migrate to virtual learning after spring break, the question immediately emerged about what steps to undergo when the students would be scheduled to return to campus to start the fall semester in September. 

When French realized that over 97 percent of the student body were from areas of the nation that were considered “hotspots” for spreading COVID-19 at the time, he and the other AUC presidents met once again to make a unified decision to continue virtual learning into the next semester. 

Relieved, French said, “It was a tough decision, but at the end of the day, we’re now being commended for making that tough decision and finally allowed my leadership team to change our paradigm to being wholly informed by data in our decision-making process.”

A few weeks after his arrival at Clark Atlanta, French would have to use his pastoral experience to help heal the school after the murder of a student, Alexis Crawford, in October 2019.

Crawford, an Athens, Georgia native, was reported missing from her on-campus apartment and later found in a Dekalb County Park. Another Clark Atlanta student, Jordyn Jones — Crawford’s roommate and “best friend” — was one of two suspects in Crawford’s murder. 

According to reports, Jones and Crawford got into a physical altercation. Jones’s boyfriend, Atlanta native Barron Brantley, later got involved in the fight.

“As a result of the physical altercation, Barron Brantley choked the victim until she was deceased,” an Atlanta Police Department report says. “Afterwards, Jones and Brantley placed Alexis Crawford in a plastic bin and transported her body to Exchange Park in Decatur, GA, where they placed her body in the woods.”

Jones and Brantley were later charged with felony murder. Following a week-long search for Crawford, Brantley admitted to investigators he had choked and killed her, according to court documents.

For the five days Crawford was missing, French provided counseling, consulting, and ministering to his students and Crawford’s family before her body was recovered by detectives and medical examiners. Distraught from their grief, Crawford’s family asked French to deliver the eulogy at her funeral. 

When asked to speak, French’s reacted, “that allowed us as a community to come together, and to actually embrace my leadership early on, perhaps earlier than some may have done otherwise.” 

French’s rollercoaster of a year not only brought with it the challenges of navigating a global pandemic, but it also brought in an uproar of police brutality and racial injustice that would potentially affect his students.

For French, the murders of unarmed Black men and women like Brunswick native, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor by the hands of law enforcement was an issue that could not be swept under the rug anymore.

“The social unrest was needed and our nation had become comfortable,” French said. “In some instances, the murders, the abuses of our people, they had become such a common thing that they had to be addressed.” 

When citizens emerged from their quarantines in peaceful protest of a wave of incidents in early summer, French himself embraced the movement by making sure his students were socially conscious and equally aware of similar struggles that took place during the Civil Rights Movement. 

He mentored his students in the spirit of the mentorship that Benjamin Mays and Mahatma Gandhi provided to the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., on being deliberate, international, and methodic when he stood for justice in the 1950s. 

“So we taught our students that you have methods of protest, which include requests for negotiations and demands before protests even took place,” French explained, emphasizing the power that comes with people of color having a presence in spaces that will permanently affect change. 

“We at (Clark Atlanta) do not just protest certain issues, but to also make sure that we research those issues and that we have data to support our decisions, so that not only are we in the streets marching on Saturday and Sunday but on Monday morning, we’re in the boardroom making demands for changes in policy that would assist our people to make advances in society that they may not be able to make or have made before.”

When Rayshard Brooks was killed by the hands of an Atlanta Police officer in a fast-food parking lot off of University Avenue in June, Clark Atlanta alumna and Slutty Vegan restauranteur Pinky Cole reached out to French to see what her alma mater could do to help. 

When presented with the opportunity to help the Brooks family, French said he “unequivocally didn’t have to have any deliberation” upon Cole’s request. Days later, French pledged full scholarships to all of Brooks’s five children, which will pass down generational education to his family. 

“The very premise of education is that it does break cyclical generational barriers,” French said, “and it’s the great equalizer of being one generation that receives an education is impactful for the generations to follow.”

The demand for change has also empowered Clark Atlanta to receive large donations from the likes of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, and his wife, Patty Quillin, who is among several wealthy donors and large corporations who had made contributions to HBCUs like Clark Atlanta. 

A couple of weeks ago, author and philanthropist McKenzie Scott donated $15 million to the institution, the largest single gift in the university’s history.

The majority of these donations are inspired by the social injustice that African Americans have had to endure and French said he is supportive of their charitable giving. 

“They realize the social unrest,” French said. “They realize the disparities economically and educationally within our society, and applaud them for taking action for taking note and not just turning their heads.”

French announced in November that the school will begin a hybrid model of in-person and virtual learning for the spring semester in 2021. Classes for the spring 2021 semester are scheduled to begin on Feb. 1. 

The university, along with other AUC member institutions, has implemented a rigorous science-based safety strategy which includes ongoing COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, isolation, quarantine, and treatment measures to mitigate the transmission of the virus.

Clark Atlanta University President George T. French announced a $15 million donation from novelist and philanthropist, MacKenzie Scott — the single largest private gift in the history of the university. 

Scott, who is reported to be the 18-richest person in the world, also gave to another HBCU today. Baltimore’s Morgan State University also received a record-breaking donation from Scott for $40 million. In total, Scott has given more than $4.1 billion in four months after announcing her plans to give $1.7 billion in July. 

“I am extremely honored to receive this gift,” French said. “This transformational gift will enable the University to strengthen our academic programs; support academic innovation initiatives; enhance our campus infrastructure; provide scholarship support; and build on our endowment.”

The ex-wife of Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, gave Morehouse College and Spelman College a “magnanimous” gift of $20 million to both institutions in July. 

“Economic losses and health outcomes alike have been worse for women, for people of color, and for people living in poverty,” she said in a post on Medium. “Meanwhile,” she continues, “it has substantively increased the wealth of billionaires.”

Her post announced that Scott has given to over 384 organizations across the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C. this year including The Thurgood Marshall College Fund, The United Negro College Fund, and 26 Historically Black Colleges & Universities.

French said the gift will be used to strengthen academic programs, retain and recruit talented faculty, provide more scholarships to students, and renovate several buildings and residence halls on campus.

“With additional financial resources, the university can continue to strengthen academic programs, retain and recruit talented faculty, provide more scholarships to students, and renovate several historic buildings and residence halls on campus,” French said.

The AUC’s decision to go virtual for this semester’s students and faculty may have been the right decision to make as several schools are closing down due to students and faculty getting infected with COVID-19.

“Well, it started with my Dad waking me up saying, ‘I’m your new roommate for the next semester.’ That was an experience.”

And that was how first semester Spelman student, Christine Bynum, was told the news that her college experience would be starting at her home in Portland, Oregon instead of at the Atlanta University Center.

In July, the presidents of the AUC consortium — including Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University — made the decision to adopt virtual learning in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“So the beauty of it was a holistic decision,” said CAU President, George French. “We found that 97 percent of our students will be coming from the top hotspots in the country. Once we have had the data, we knew that we had to make a decision.”

Last week, several institutions, including Georgia Tech, reported dozens of cases of Coronavirus in students and faculty days after starting classes in person.

“I just see it as a blessing in disguise,” said Morehouse freshmen basketball player, Brock Davis. “I feel like I was able to focus on my school work and keep making those good grades and keep making my family proud.”

MaKisha Funderburke, an adjunct professor at CAU, approved of the decisions made by the Presidents and was ready to welcome her students through her laptop instead of in her classroom.

“I was actually relieved that the AUC institutions made their decision because that shows you that they are keeping the student’s health and their best interests at heart,” Funderburke said. “So when they decided to go 100 percent remote, I was relieved, but I think it was a good decision.”

With housing off the table for generating revenue this semester, all of the schools will suffer major financial losses. The institutions are estimated to lose a combined $20 million from on-campus living and enrollment. 

French said he looked at options to have the freshmen and sophomore classes stay on campus like have one student per dorm room and administering test kits to take before moving day to confirm negative cases.

Enrollment was another factor that was involved when making this decision. All of the presidents braced themselves for a loss of 25 percent or more in enrollment for the fall. French said he is anticipating it to be less than 20 percent and Morehouse President David Thomas, projecting less.

“Actually, we’re almost exactly where we were this time last year,” Thomas said. “I think we’re 5 percent down.”

The CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund provided funds for the schools and emergency financial aid to help students whose lives had been disrupted by closing the schools last semester.

“We were able to benefit with over $3 million directly to students who needed emergency aid,” French said. “(W)e had to send students home, we purchased airline tickets, purchased groceries, paid bills that they had neither, and then there were several million dollars that we received as institutional support for that loss in revenue.

“So colleges and universities are still realizing a loss and will realize a loss, but there’s been some great relief from the Fed,” he added.

But for French, Thomas, and the rest of the AUC Presidents, having your entire curriculum virtually for the entire semester was going to be a big change.

“To increase our ability to make sure that even in the virtual environment, we provide our students with a high quality, educational experience and so our faculty are feeling much more confident,” Thomas said.

Clark Atlanta gifted its undergrad and graduate students 4,000 laptop computers and Wi-Fi hotspots to continue their education while away from campus. Faculty members were also required to complete an online certification program to ensure they are giving students the best education possible.

Funderburke said she caught on fast when she learned the new learning management system back in March after the AUC initially canceled classes due to the city’s executive order of limiting gatherings of 100 people or more.

“I’m adapting fairly well,” Funderburke said. “It’s been very peaceful because the spring semester in March, we went virtual. So I’m use to it.”

For Bynum and other students participating in classes on the West Coast or in other countries, the time differences have created an adjustment she was not ready for.

“People say, ‘don’t take 8 a.m. classes especially if you are three hours behind,” Bynum said.

So she started a morning routine to ensure she is awake in time for her 6 a.m. math class by making a Starbucks run with her mom at 5 a.m. PST.

With the number of cases starting to subside, the presidents said they have started considering what they are going to do for the spring semester in 2021. The consortium has started weekly meetings to figure out a way to safely bring the students back to the AUC. 

“We’ve already developed what I think is a state-of-the-art set of protocols to bring our students back,” Thomas explained. “We have already begun using those with faculty and staff who need to come to campus.”

French, who is also a member of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’s COVID-19 committee to reopen Atlanta, said he will continue to use data to help him make decisions. “If parents see Atlanta being responsible, they’re more apt to allow their students and their children to come back to school at Clark Atlanta University and the AU Center.”

French said the AUC presidents will make the decision on continuing virtual learning into the spring semester starting the second week of September and Thomas said he will make an announcement to Morehouse students and parents after Thanksgiving.
