The subjects were asked to read a passage about a fictional character named Donald who withheld his rent from his landlord because repairs were not made to his home. The details of the story were left ambiguous enough that Donald could easily be perceived as a justifiably aggrieved tenant - or merely a jerk.

He plans to raise $3 million a year for the next five years through donations and fees from local church groups and high schools that rent out vacant classrooms or the fallow football stadium in the off-season. Two band camps have already signed on to use the campus this summer. A change in Georgia law last year approved state financial aid for students at schools that, like Morris Brown, are on the road to reaccreditation; it's one reason Pritchett has set an enrollment goal of 1,000 students in 2014, which would translate...
