Pros

Historic buildings Great Location Great students great reputation

Cons

Facilities need improving-old buldings, with pest control issues Current president need to get out among the students more Unethical and incompetent leaders are facilitated, but good people are chased away/dismissed Trustee board hire for politics instead of asking staff and faculty for advise Need to use their prime location to build a revenue generator like a jazz & RB music, restaurant entertainment venue. This is music city and others establishments are making millions while Fisk starves. You've been here for over 150 years...you should be at big as Belmont University.....
