Pros
Miles has a great community atmosphere. Great history and tradition, an HBCU that prides itself on giving opportunities to those who have very little opportunities.
Cons
Students are not challenged enough curriculum wise, standards are lowered to meet a a large percentage of the student body that is not ready for higher education due to an "open door" policy. Faculty is not given the power to instill discipline that would create the ideal academic environment. Attendance is a major problem. There must be a real mandatory attendance policy in place that has concrete and school wide uniform consequences if it is not met by students. Faculty are threatened about job security routinely by the Academic Dean. Also pressured to have certain pass fail rate numbers or face consequences of possible termination.
