Bethune-Cookman promises to take better care of cemetery
DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman College, accused by state officals of mismanaging an indigent cemetery, has agreed to take better care of the burial ground, according to a settlement a judge approved last week. Officials with the college and the state Department of Banking and Finance, which regulates cemeteries, agreed to the settlement because inspectors realized that the historically black college had been operating Sunset Memorial Park as a charity. 7/31/02
