Southern U. President's Contract Will Not Be Renewed
The Southern University Board of Supervisors voted not to renew the contract of the system’s president, which is set to expire on June 30, The Advocate, a newspaper in Baton Rouge, La., reported today.
The Board of Supervisors found the job performance of the president, Ralph Slaughter, satisfactory but nonetheless voted, 11 to 5, to terminate his contract. The board will meet in April to decide whether to place Mr. Slaughter on administrative leave until his contract expires.
Mr. Slaughter, who was named president in March 2006, filed a whistle-blower lawsuit against the board in May 2007, asserting that the board had suspended him in retaliation for reporting that a former board member had sexually harassed several female employees of the university. The board cleared the former member of harassment, and Mr. Slaughter’s lawsuit was later settled.
