Texas Southern, Smiley Part Ways
October 27th, 2009
The Tavis Smiley Communication School at Texas Southern University (TSU) will be renamed as school’s governing board voted to cut ties with the author and journalist for not delivering on his pledge to raise $2 million for the historically Black college.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Smiley agreed in 2004 to personally donate $200,000 annually for a period of five years as well as raise $1 million through private and corporate donations.
TSU officials said Smiley raised $300,000.
Smiley said concerns with the school’s fiscal management after its previous president was fired and sentenced to probation for improper usage of school funds, made it difficult to raise funds for the institution.
“I … will continue with my benevolence where it’s appreciated,” said Smiley in an email to TSU officials.
Smiley formerly worked for BET.

A white canvas bag with the HOME logo in gold accompanies the T-shirt.
