Man who has university dept named after him blames black students for plummeting real estate values, tax revenue

The University of Mississippi's Meek School of Journalism was named after Edwin Meek, 77, who had to apologize on Wednesday for a seemingly racist post featuring two black students
PUBLISHED SEP 21, 2018

One of the major donors behind the Meek School of Journalism and New Media at the University of Mississippi (colloquially known as Ole Miss) landed himself in trouble after a seemingly racist post involving students after one of them called him out for his apparent "racism and misogyny".

77-year-old Edwin Meek, who donated $5.3million towards Ole Miss's school of journalism, unwittingly shared pictures of Mahogany Jordan and her friend Kiyona Crawford in a post about the 'decline in real estate values' and 'enrollment numbers' after a series of fist fights broke out at the town square on Wednesday.
