$340,000 in cash compensation evidently wasn't enough for this go-getter!

That's pretty good wages if you can get em.

You know I watched this with much interest. I wanted to see how far her flagrant fraud and theft by deception would be soft peddled to the public. This woman is decidedly arrogant to think she could smile and wave away theft of hundreds of thousands. Oops, company check paid it. Oops my ass.

she's taken the impervious OJ shield to new heights. You really got the impression she was the victim in all this if you listened to her. Smooth hustler this one. Did she even have a college degree. I know the Houston city mayor pro tem faked her high school degree. Government sure cherry picks the best to waste our money.

She's using the "you should have stopped me" defense, a race card variation.

and receives $48,000 annually for housing expenses

Nice perk. The entertainment expenses are fully deductible to boot. I do not know where to come down on this one. If the board approved this, and caught the furniture expenses in a timely fashion, no harm no foul. If they find a pattern of misappropriation, can her and file a criminal complaint.

More shocking than anything that the president has been accused of is the fact that the university's Chief Financial Officer, Quntin Wiggins has a "criminal record [that] includes nine convictions for writing worthless checks."!!

The article mentiones he resigned under duress last month, but why would such a person possibly have been hired?

Is $340,000 in salary and benefits the going rate for a 11,600-student university president?

"TSU board votes to ax Slade"

What did they ax her, and how did she answer? ;-)

They're going to ax her lots of questions at the hearing before they axe her for good.

The Bracewell & Giuliani report concluded that Slade authorized the landscaping work without first knowing how she would pay for it.

She knew exactly how she was going to pay for it. She was going to bill the university for it. And the university was going to get reimbursed with some free government money so it was all good. She was just trying to get over. One day at a time, baby.

Only when the the historically black institution's governing board decides to pay this kind of coinage, with a miserable graduation rate. Not to mention the prestige of associating with all of the recognized scholars from TSU.

Something to remember before you donate to The United Negro College Fund.""

This has always bothered me.

Why is there ONLY a "United Negro College Fund"???

In today's PC world, why is there either NO UNCF, or why not a United WHITE College Fund, Hispanic College Fund, ETC.

I think this is totally discriminatory and I think it has been since it's inception.

A mind IS a terrible thing to waste....regardless of the color of the bearer.
