Sex Tape Scandal Rocks Southern
By News Wire - June 20, 2017


Baton Rouge, La. - Officials at Southern University say that a cybercrime may have been committed against members of its staff, after a clip posted to an adult website made the rounds among students and alumni throughout the country this morning.

The clip, which has been removed from the site in question, features a man and a woman having sex, and some alumni took to social media to express frustration over the alleged footage of a well-known graduate student and student affairs vice-president Brandon Dumas, as reported by PenPoint News. From a prominent Southern alumni Facebook group:

“We have seen the link, and believe that the parties involved are a high-level university administrator, married with children, a former Miss Southern, current graduate student who works in the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, and on university soil. Even if the parties verbally deny being involved, it warrants an investigation with both parties being placed on administrative leave.”

Southern Placed on Accreditation Warning
By News Wire - June 21, 2017

Already reeling from a sex tape scandal with the alleged involvement of a university vice-president and a graduate student, Southern University was today announced as one of several historically black institutions to be placed or continued on accreditation warning by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges.

The flagship public HBCU and anchor of the nation’s only historically black system of higher education has 12 months to rectify issues with standards institutional effectiveness and student achievement, educational program structure and delivery, and excessive student complaints about the school.

Southern’s accreditation was reaffirmed by SACSCOC in 2010, and will not be the subject of a special review team formed by the accrediting agency.

I saw the videos in a Facebook group. She is fine!!!! As the story goes, the SU Administrator's wife gets a tip from the Queens soror to watch her husband and the Queen. The wife gains access to his cell phone. The cell phone has videos of the husband with the Queen having sex and videos of the husband having sex with 2 male SU band members.....The wife posts them on SU's wifi network. The wife could be charged with an internet crime.

Appeal rejected; Southern University Board votes to fire vice chancellor amid sex tape controversy
BY REBEKAH ALLEN | [e-mail] PUBLISHED JUL 21, 2017 AT 12:16 PM

Southern University's Board of Supervisors Friday upheld the firing of Vice Chancellor Brandon Dumas, who was terminated by the system president earlier this week amid a campus sex tape scandal.

The Board voted 9-6 against his appeal after a lengthy conversation with Dumas and his attorney behind closed doors.

Dumas has been on administrative leave from Southern University since June 23 – two days after at least two sexually explicit videos spread throughout Southern University alumni circles and the school announced it was investigating whether the videos constituted a cyber crime involving an employee and a student. The videos were each less than 10 seconds and appeared to be taken on the smart phone app Snapchat. They originally appeared on the porn site Xtube but have since been taken down.

On Thursday, Belton announced Dumas would be terminated effective Aug. 10. But Dumas immediately gave his intentions to appeal to the board.

The university never gave an official reason to media for punishing Dumas. But at the Friday meeting, it became clear that Dumas's connection to the videos was an underlying concern.

During board discussion of Dumas's termination hearing, a board member asked Southern University System attorney Winston Decuir about the employment statuses of the people in the video.

Decuir responded that Human Resources has investigated the videos and interviewed the woman who was portrayed. Decuir said the woman, who is a university employee, told investigators that the man in the videos does not work for Southern. The implication is that the woman was denying that Dumas was in the video, Decuir later clarified.

But at the board meeting, some Southern University stakeholders spoke out against Dumas for other reasons.

"The real problem is we wouldn't even be here discussing this if not for this video surfacing," said Southern University Professor Albert Samuels.
