Can S.C. Save Historically Black Technical College?

A new law in South Carolina outlines a series of steps designed to strengthen Denmark Technical College, a historically black two-year institution, The Post and Courier reported. Enrollment has been falling, from 2,000 a few years ago to 600 now. Cash reserves have dropped in four years from $9 million to $285,000. The new law puts the college directly under the control of the state's technical college system. Further, the law authorizes tuition to be free for those in the area who graduate from high school with at least a 2.0 grade point average.
