Southern U Board Suspends System President Ralph Slaughter With Pay

by Scott Dyer , May 7, 2007

Categories:

Meanwhile, at least one of the 12 board members said he’s ready to fire Slaughter. Board member John Joseph of Opelousas, who voted against the two-month paid suspension, said Slaughter should be fired for the way he’s handled the sexual harassment allegations against Anderson.

Anderson’s attorney claims the letter to Jones was part of a plot by Slaughter to “disparage the good name of Johnny Anderson” and to defeat his re-election as board chairman.”

The board appointed Southern University at Baton Rouge Chancellor Edward Jackson as interim system president while Slaughter is suspended. Executive Vice Chancellor Margaret Ambrose will serve as interim chancellor for the Baton Rouge campus.
