Historically Black research university with strong alumni network
"This historically Black research university was the site of a commencement where alumna Aisha "Pinky" Cole—who graduated in 2009 with a major in mass communication and media studies—delivered an encouraging address to the 2022 graduating class, partnered with Varo Bank to gift LLCs to graduates to jump-start entrepreneurship, urged students to persist through failure, and has been a beneficiary of the founder’s broader philanthropy, which has included scholarships and financial support tied to community advocacy." - Beth McKibben
"The university partnered with a notable alumna and local restaurateurs to provide full college scholarships for the four children of Rayshard Brooks; the commitment—reported to total over $600,000 and to cover tuition, meals, and room and board—was framed by the university president as a way to offset long-term financial effects of Brooks' death and to help the children access a world-class education." - Beth McKibben
"I reported that Cau has closed all 22 of its U.K. sites after the group filed for administration, a collapse attributed in statements to rapid over-expansion, poor site selection, onerous lease arrangements and a weak guest proposition." - Eater Staff
"This sister steak restaurant was closed altogether following the parent chain’s entry into a CVA and the ensuing restructuring." - James Hansen
"One of two steak-restaurant brands put into administration that closed suddenly, resulting in the loss of at least 700 jobs; administrators are Deloitte. The chain is part of the same takeover process as its sister brand and has prompted rival operators to step in on behalf of affected customers and staff." - James Hansen
