Primary document source: an image of Dr. Mark A. Brown’s actual email to students (a rendered screenshot of the email, not a photograph of paper), headed “A Message to Students from Dr. Mark A. Brown,” salutation “Dear Tuskegee University Students.” Full transcription on file from an earlier receipt-gate pass. Confirms the letter is addressed to students, not parents, resolving an early discrepancy in secondhand coverage. Contains the real second-person text of the policy explanation, including the sentence most outlets dropped: “Employers are less forgiving and too often presentation may overrule stellar preparation.”
