Four approaches that can help reverse enrollment slides and prop up recruitment in higher education.

Gordon W. Davis, a Lubbock businessman who spent 10 years as an associate professor in the college, and his wife, Joyce, have given a $44 million donation to rename the Gordon W. Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources and further support a program he helped bring into the national spotlight.

Morehouse, Spelman and 10 other institutions will target the donations toward scholarships that create retail pathways for students.

The money comes from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, part of a federal coronavirus aid package.
