Griffin Todd details how his experiences working a contracting job repairing concrete sidewalks at East Carolina University reflect the racial bias in public projects.

This prevents authorities from stepping in and taking action. Todd and others discuss how larger contractors who hire their smaller firms often target them to make up for lost costs and how the state’s university system should better monitor the big firms who are taking advantage of them.

Or at least the fallout is being felt by campus constituents paying for buildings that take into account fashion more than function. As the author suggested, paying more for less leads to less in a lot of ways for students covering the exorbitant construction prices of new campus buildings.
