Something VERY shady is occurring at Morris Brown College in Atlanta.
Last week, BOSSIP reported on the sudden termination of the varsity’s long-time president, Dr. Kevin James.
James took to Facebook to launch a prolonged assertion detailing his accomplishments on the faculty, accusing the varsity of failing to supply a simply trigger for his firing, and revealing that his contract is ready to run till 2029. News of the dismissal left not solely the scholars in shock, but in addition the bigger HBCU neighborhood, who’ve develop into more and more suspicious of the board of trustees at a number of faculties the place a president has been fired.
Prepare for a plot twist.
According to CBS News, Dr. Kevin James has now been reinstated as Morris Brown President. The faculty up to date its web site to replicate James because the President earlier than releasing the next assertion.
“The Board acknowledges that this era has been disruptive and painful for members of the Morris Brown neighborhood,” a press release by the board learn partly. “The board deeply regrets the hurt this has induced our establishment, college students, households, donors, supporters, and Dr. James.”
If it seems that one thing is lacking from this assertion, permit us that will help you discover it. What you’re seemingly searching for is accountability, and there’s none to be discovered. A faculty like Morris Brown that has endured a lot strife over the previous 20-plus years must be embarrassed to assume {that a} disingenuous apology with no clarification as to what truly occurred would suffice. However, they aren’t, and that’s deeply problematic.
James additionally launched a press release of his personal that reads:
“The work continues. Our rapid priorities are to start the therapeutic journey whereas persevering with our targeted preparation for our upcoming accreditation reaffirmation go to in two weeks. We might be prepared,” he wrote. “The time is now. We now start The Hard Reset Part II.”
Welcome house, Dr. James. We can solely hope that public strain continues in order that any unhealthy apples who sit on the Morris Brown board are held to account.
