HIV and AIDS education in minority communities


There is a need for more education in the black community about HIV and AIDS that is is not a “White Gay Male” disease. HIV and AIDS know no barriers between race, ethnicity, social, or economic levels. There is a need for HIV and AIDS education in public high schools.
As the rest of the world is finally becoming informed, many of us are already aware that Clark Atlanta University is having financial trouble. What can be done to get us out of this trouble and to prevent it from happening in the future?

More than 100 faculty members were laid off. Of all of the viable options, was this appropiate?

Why is CAU and other HBCUs having financial difficulty? Is anyone coming to our rescue?
Private School Bailout! Necessary for HBCU survival
Clark Atlanta University is not the only school in need of financial assistance. In the Atlanta University Center Morehouse and Spelman College have also endured faculty and staff layoffs in order to keep the institutions afloat.

CAU representatives say the school is still financially sound, but the layoffs were necessary to keep them through the semester. The government has thrown so much money at private companies, but what about the business of education? Is it important to feed the country knowledge in order keep it growing? Is it an obligation of the country to lend monetary support to schools private or public--especially if private companies receive funding?
