Southern's New President Has Contract Trouble |
By Southern Digest -- Black College Wire | |
Southern University's newly elected Board of Supervisors chairman and certain board members are unsure if current Baton Rouge campus chancellor, Kofi Lomotey, should have a guaranteed contract. The chairman-elect said the board could find another chancellor if Lomotey refuses to accept an “at-will” status. As an “at-will” state, Louisiana employees or employers can break employment status without liability. Should Lomotey decide not to accept the status, the board may vote next month on his employment status. Clayton was unopposed for the position of chairman after immediate past chairman Myron Lawson decided not to seek re-election. Lawson likened Clayton to president-elect Barack Obama, a compliment Clayton said was “pushing it.” This article was originally published in The Southern Digest, the Southern University Baton Rouge student newspaper. |
