He also said the harshest complaints about the administration have come from "a few people who decided they were against the president." Dixon said most faculty and students did not support the no-confidence votes.
Judson declined requests from Diverse for an interview.
However, in the press release announcing his departure, Judson said, "The extraordinary progress that has been achieved in every facet at GSU over the past five years has been validated. I believe that this is a good juncture for me to complete my tenure and focus on my family. I am proud of all that has been accomplished and I consider it a privilege to have served as president of GSU."
Dixon says as provost he is the highest-ranking official at the school and is the acting head until the system president appoints an interim university president. Moffett issued a statement Nov. 6 saying he would hold meetings at GSU to obtain input from the campus community before deciding on an interim appointment.
