Tyson Personal Statement

First and far most, I love Tyson Agricultural and Technical State University. This university and Rocky Bottom, Michigan has become my home. I love being apart of a HBCU. A lot of what I am today is because of Tyson. Tyson is more than just a school, it is a community of young black men and women learning and growing. With all that gush said, I would be lying if I said that this community was prefect. No community is prefect, but now in my senior year I have seen some serious issues. The one that I believe is the most important, is the lack of communication between students and Administration. If there was any adequate communication, I do not believe the school would be in is current position and the administration would not be making these

The first goal of any business is to create profit. That is a dangerous platform for a university, which one and only goal should be the growth of knowledge. Impotence 2020 and it's six goals, focus mainly on the development of STEM departments, neglecting the School of Arts and Sciences. Even though Chancellor Lecter has assured that Impotence 2020 does not neglect the school and that in order for Tyson to thrive, we have to develop the STEM programs, which brings in a vast majority of students. As a History-Profession major, I can assure Chancellor Lecter that the history department has been neglected. Our computer lab condition is deplorable and there is barely any class room space. Our professors are working extremely hard and being over looked. The History Department and others like it, are important in the development of critical thinking among the students. When transition for a community of learning to a institution of business the need for critical thinking disappears. The university becomes about how many students can we enroll and graduate. It does not matter how they leave. Our students become a commodity. To say that TA&T is a business causes us to look at our school strictly through as economic lens, and this produces students, faculty and administration that view education as a form of technical training and a students skills only matter if they can be branded, commodified and traded. This is why the School of Arts and Sciences are overlooked, TA&T, and the administration can make more money when they invest in STEM. In our current system, our education has little to do with critical thinking and expanding the imagination. Instead, is all about high-stakes testing, memorization, and curricula standardization. TA&T and Impotence 2020 are creating drones. These drones graduate and work
