Institutions of higher education are facing unprecedented times of financial uncertainty, political upheaval, public scrutiny, and in some cases, racial unrest. Such drastic times calls for university leaders to use all available communication tools to deliver bad news in the most positive way.

more efforts to diversify and create equal representation of all students. Attending higher education institution for minorities has been an uneasy struggle and one that few minorities accomplish. The dilemma of African American enrollment for example, in a college lecture hall at Texas A&M containing 250 seats, only a maximum 4 out of 250 seats will contain African American students.
