Come on People,
When will we hold these people accountable for there actions. This is not the first time a HBCU president has stolen from a college yet we continue to let them off. If my memory serves me correct the others got jail time and she gets nothing. She will go on and find another high paying job and her life will be fine. However the others now have records because of her and will mostly likely not get another job like that ever again. Somebody has to stand up and fight for the employees that are doing what they were told to do. I know from my own experience that, you are threaten with job loss if you don’t comply. If you are a whistle blower thats even more out of the question because others see you as disloyal to your institution and you end up hurting others who were not directly involved. We MUST DO SOMETHING OR HBCU PRESIDENTS WILL BE A JOKE. The way things are going right now we are running a legalized hustling ring with school employees being the muscle and presidents are the ring leaders of the organization.

This is a shame. This is why HBCU’s have such a bad rap now. She should be in jail.
