Mernard and Meritas to close the two campuses could be viewed as a wise decision in the face of a bad recession or a poor, knee-jerk reaction in the face of temporary financial difficulties. However, since Meritas did not recognize the shifting economic environment and scale back their spending, they were placed in a situation where closure seemed like the most prudent option. Closure Process Dr. Mernard has maintained the reason for the closure of the two campuses was and is not financial in nature, yet was for “demographic reasons”. However, Professor Moronke Oke, Ph.D clearly developed a case study with source and data not only illustrating but revealing that in August 2012, that the rating outlook changed from stable to negative (Moody’s Investors Service, 2013). The questions as to whether the closure was due to loss of investment, a financial issue or demographic needs will most likely remain unanswered. This closure was abrupt and a total shock demonstrating an extremely negative social responsibility on RSPS’s part, having both a positive and negative impact.

Throughout the life of Anne Moody Violence against African-Americans was the scariest part of racism in America. It would take little to provoke some white folk to commit heinous and inhuman crimes to African-Americans. This is shown in many places like the murder of Emmitt Till, an African-American from Chicago who was killed only due to whistling at a white woman. Another event that happened was the burning of the Taplin family where the family was burned in a house fire that was presumably…

Because of the way the sharecropping business went, sharecroppers were in consistent and restraining debt, which led to them never…
