The Board of Trustees needs to be ashamed of themselves. They need to stop acting as if they didn't know or just recently finding out about the university's financial problems and poor living conditions of students staying in rundown dorms. They knew what was going on. They just chose to ignore it.
I'm so tired of hearing board members talking about appeals and they have steps that will bring the university back in good standards.
If they really had the best interest of the university. Why didn't they step down when asked to?
How are you going to forget to pay the IRS, turf for the football field? Y'all have ruined students and university staff's lives.
The board of trustees made ST. AUG an embarrassment to all the other proud HBCU's around the country.
It doesn't matter what y'all do to solve the problem. Do the Board members really believe students will enroll into the university in the future?
I'm a 93 Alum. I would never tell anyone to attend the university.
The Board Members characters and actions speak highly of them.
