Langston University Announces Plans to Clear More Than $4.5 Million in Student Debt Balances

Body
On Wednesday, March 22nd, Langston University announced that it will clear student balances through the use of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grant funding. The amount cleared totals $4,587,485.82, and will immediately pay off debt owed to the university for students enrolled in the Summer 2022, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023 academic terms. This is the second time that the university has canceled student debt. In August of 2021, the amount of debt cleared was $4,654,112. The two clearance initiatives together total over $9.2 million. Many other Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have cleared student account balances with grant funding due the pandemic.

Dear Mrs. Maddie

Body
Dear Mrs. Maddie, I have a conundrum and just don’t know what to do. I am about to pull my hair out (and I don’t have much more to lose!) I am hoping you can help me. I just cannot sit out on my front porch and enjoy this beautiful spring weather that we are about to have! You see... I feel like I am being watched if I do. The reason is my neighbor (God bless her little heart) has all of her security cameras pointed at MY house! I can’t have company over without her inquiring who was here. She calls me to tell me someone is at my door before they even knock. She calls to ask where I’m at if my car isn’t home. She calls to tell me someone walked through my yard, picked a flower out of my yard or even dropped off a package. Why I can’t even pee off my own front porch without her watching! What is a person to do!? I can’t afford to move. I’ve tried “joking” about it and not always nicely. She just cackles and snorts and goes on her merry way.
