Clarence Thomas to Teach
Creighton Law Class
OMAHA, Neb. — Officials at Creighton University's School of Law here have announced that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will co-teach a one-credit course related to constitutional theory with Creighton law professor Mike Fenner. The two-week class will meet during the Supreme Court's February recess.
"The final details of the course offering haven't been worked out yet, but this will be a tremendous educational opportunity for Creighton law students," says Patrick Borchers, dean of Creighton's law school, which has a 2.8 percent Black student enrollment.
Colleges Battered By Spring Storm
GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina A&T State University and Bennett College here were among several city colleges hit hard by a tornado-like storm late last month.
The sight of fallen oak and pine trees was common on both campuses, and Bennett officials reported about $20,000 worth of damage.
But it was A&T that took the heaviest hits. Aside from flooded basements and leaky roofs in campus buildings, several barns at the university's farm were destroyed and a fallen tree crushed the roof of an unoccupied dormitory. Additionally, the school's Fitness and Wellness Center, currently under construction, was damaged.
A&T and Bennett officials reported no injuries or fatalities.
