The school announced that it raised $8.2 million and will appeal the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission’s decision to revoke its accreditation in December. The Stand with Bennett Campaign launched eight weeks ago and saw support from students, alumni and corporations. Last month, the Papa John’s Foundation donated $500,000 to the school. Bennett President Phyllis Dawkins said in the past week that the pri- vate, historically Black college for women received a flush of donations. High Point University gave the liberal arts HBCU a $1 million chal- lenge grant, helping the school reach 95 percent of its fundraising goals. Los Angeles couple Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano also donated $1 million. “This whole campaign is not about money,” said High Point President Breakout Candidates Gear Up For Council Elections Nido Qubein. “I believe that God has ordained Bennett in a very special way, to say to the world that there is a reason why Bennett was founded many sitting members. and there is a reason why Bennett must continue to sustain itself with Candidates in attendance offer- both success and significance.” ing fresh perspectives and an exam- ple of their representation were NAACP’s Lawsuit Against Chad McIntyre, Solomon Olopade, Sharice Riley and Nash Knick.

An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities.

For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt.
