BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Johns Hopkins University announced Monday that it had been informed by the parent company of Student Loan Xpress Inc. about consulting fees and travel expenses paid to the Homewood campus’ director of student financial services. The Hopkins’ official, Ellen Frishberg, had received about $65,000 in consulting fees and $1,200 in travel expenses since 2002, JHU said in a press release.
She was placed on paid administrative leave pending an inquiry by the university into the circumstances of the payments, the university said.
Student Loan Xpress is one of several lenders on lists Johns Hopkins maintains of suggested lenders for the federal PLUS and private loan programs.

If not solved in primary or secondary, Black males (Black people) must settle the identity question during post secondary work. Black male and female students in Baltimore must be INSPIRED to learn through innovative means. Black male students have to be taught the very basics of education and SOCIAL skills.

I believe the problem with low attendence of black males in college is a cultural issue not a fairness issue.

You mean all it takes to get black males to go to college is have black professors? Wow, I wish it was that easy. There is a nation-wide trend for more women than men in post-high school education; right now the gap is about 55% women and 45% men and getting wider. How does the issue of the race require different tactics than simply being a male?

As a retired teacher, I am happy to see black young men with a continued positive influence post- high school. I do hope that the program developes with enormous success and extend itself to young black adolences prior to exiting High School. We need to give them a little motivation during the middle school experience. If that is not an option, well, I guess those wilth the inner drive will continue graduating for some institude beyond High School will do so! But, statistics are evidence, the we are losing them before High School! Grades 6th - 8th have been the points of deciding whether to lead or to follow. Our black youth need you, as a group positive black role models to implement some incentives to motivate their self-esteem and ethnocentric pride! May God bless you in this endeavor that may enlighten others to join your cause that can make difference in our city and others!
