## Resource

Fisk University’s billion-dollar “Quantum Leap” expansion sparks fierce debate as alumni and neighbors rally against its proposed data center, citing environmental fears and past harms to marginalized communities. President Dr. Agenia Clark counters with tech assurances—LEED certification, water-efficient cooling, and no AI focus—to position the project as innovation, not exploitation. With over 14K petition signatures and funding details pending, the campus faces a pivotal moment: will this leap truly elevate Fisk—or deepen community fractures?
