Weeks after vote, NSU president faces scrutiny
Carolyn Meyers was the subject of a rare special meeting in which Meyers was the subject of a lengthy "personnel matter" discussion.
Closed meeting
The university’s Board of Visitors held a special session last week about a “personnel matter” related to NSU President Carolyn Meyers, shown at right. Board members declined to say what was discussed, but sources say Meyers is on the hot seat.
Mixed reviews
Critics of Meyers say she has not moved quickly enough to make changes at the school since she took over in July 2006. Others say she has plans in place to make the necessary improvements.
What’s next
The Board of Visitors will meet in another closed session within the next 40 days to further discuss Meyers, who is under contract until June 30, 2011 .

We don't know all of the details yet, but it sounds like this is another case of a BOT needing to "get a life" and recognizing that it's not about the BOT, it's about the students!
