Shakeup at Shaw: President Irma McClaurin quits
BY PAUL A. SPECHT - staff writer
RALEIGH - Shaw University, which has endured a tumultuous three years - including financial problems, damage from a deadly tornado, an accreditation review and several leadership changes - is undergoing another executive shakeup.
Irma McClaurin, Shaw's third president in three years, resigned Tuesday. The move came one day after the university's vice president of academic affairs informed school officials that she too is leaving. And several weeks ago, a board member stepped down, citing concern for the downtown school's leadership and finances.
"Shaw University has seen many changes and experienced challenges in the last six months," the university said in a statement late Tuesday. "And with change comes transitions."
Shaw's statement did not elaborate on the departure. And McClaurin, 58, declined to say what led to the resignation. Both said it was a mutual decision.
