Clarion-Ledger: MVSU’s chief called on to resign
A new Mississippi Valley State faculty committee that President Lester Newman created is calling for his dismissal.
Newman launched the panel to take an in-depth look at concerns on the Itta Bena campus. The establishment of the 10-member committee was one of the moves by the president after the Faculty Senate in late February passed a “no-confidence” resolution slamming his leadership.
By a 9-1 vote, the new panel is calling for the immediate removal of Newman as president, according to a copy of the report released Friday.
