In response to Jan Moller's report on NOLA.com, "UNO-SUNO merger suggestion is expected to touch off heated debate," reader TheMoose had this to say:
"While I agree, to some extent, I realize that African Americans have worked hard to create and build what they have. They don't discriminate and do welcome people of other races and cultures on their campus and in their classrooms with open arms. I've been on SUNO's campus many times never felt out-of-place. While I see the fiscal shortcomings of two state-funded, four-year colleges within a few miles of each other, I do understand why the African American community feels the way they do, and why they are so proud of their colleges and universities. If something they built and fought for, for so long, is taken away so easily, what was the fight for, and what do they have to show for it? SUNO stands as an example of what can be done by determined people."
