[Aggie One]

South Carolina State trustees voted 10-3 Tuesday to remove James Clark as university president.

The 10-3 vote came after a two-hour executive session.

Board Chairman Rodney Jenkins said upon the return to open session, "The board took no action in executive session. At this time I would like to offer a motion, and the motion that I'm offering is that I move to terminate President Clark's employment agreement for cause pursuant to Section 7.1 of the employment agreement effective immediately." Trustee Ronald Friday seconded.

This actually hurt me when I read it on two fronts. As most of y'all know most of my early hbcu experience was SC Steat, so to see the school is still floundering hurts.

Additional Clark was just named chair of the MEAC council of presidents and chancellors on July 1! That's less than two weeks ago. meacsports.com/news/2021/7/8/general-south-carolina-states-clark-selected-as-chair-of-meac-presidents-chancellors.aspx I did a minimal amount of digging and found that back in March the Steat faculty senate gave Clark a vote of no confidence. thetandd.com/news/local/faculty-senate-votes-no-confidence-in-scsu-president-provost/article_62f5aca7-9f2d-57d0-be90-27c7c0fe8078.html Why in the world would you name a president who was given a vote of no confidence by his own faculty senate "with low enrollment and the return to classroom learning being key issues" the lead job for the council of presidents in a conference with "low enrollment?" WTF MEAC? It hurts to see the MEAC STILL making poor decisions in key leadership posts. Are the other presidents running away from the position? Something is rotten in Norfolk.

A poster on MEAC Fans said it is a rotating position. You would've thought with all of the smoke they would've made an exception.

That would make the MEAC even more ________________ than I thought.
