Fisk University set a Sept. 8 deadline for students to get their finances in line with a new policy. Those who don’t will have to leave campus.
Friday, Sept. 8 was the deadline for students at Fisk University to get their finances in order. Otherwise, the university will require them to leave campus this weekend under a new policy.
Students need to have a balance under $1,500 or be on a payment plan — which can come with a steep down payment.
Student organizers had been protesting for the university to extend the financial deadline. But Brynn Patterson, who’s been helping organize demonstrations, said she was told the cutoff was immoveable.
