One thing VERY shady is occurring at Morris Brown School in Atlanta.
Final week, BOSSIP reported on the sudden termination of the college’s long-time president, Dr. Kevin James.
James took to Fb to launch a prolonged assertion detailing his accomplishments on the college, accusing the college of failing to supply a simply trigger for his firing, and revealing that his contract is about to run till 2029. Information of the dismissal left not solely the scholars in shock, but in addition the bigger HBCU neighborhood, who’ve change into more and more suspicious of the board of trustees at a number of colleges the place a president has been fired.
Put together for a plot twist.
In keeping with CBS Information, Dr. Kevin James has now been reinstated as Morris Brown President. The college up to date its web site to mirror 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,” an announcement by the board learn partly. “The board deeply regrets the hurt this has brought on 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 possible in search of 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 needs to be embarrassed to assume {that a} disingenuous apology with no clarification as to what really occurred would suffice. Nonetheless, they aren’t, and that’s deeply problematic.
James additionally launched an announcement of his personal that reads:
“The work continues. Our fast priorities are to start the therapeutic journey whereas persevering with our targeted preparation for our upcoming accreditation reaffirmation go to in two weeks. We shall be prepared,” he wrote. “The time is now. We now start The Arduous Reset Half II.”
Welcome house, Dr. James. We will solely hope that public stress continues in order that any unhealthy apples who sit on the Morris Brown board are held to account.
