Broadnax said the unhappiness with his leadership bothers him and he’d like to continue reaching out to Clark Atlanta’s students, faculty, alumni and staff.
“It’s painful when somebody says they want you to go,” he said. “But I do remember why I’m here. I came here to help the institution be better than it was. It isn’t about a simple popularity contest. There’s work to be done, and I stand by my record.”
But the next phase of his tenure will be different. The Board of Trustees plans to hire an executive vice president who will handle the day-to-day management of the school while Broadnax focuses on fundraising.
And while Broadnax’ current duties will fall to the still-unhired new executive vice president, “There’s only one chief and that’s Walter Broadnax,” he said.
That’s what bothers Moeti.
“As long as he remains,” he said, “he remains in a cloud of controversy. We don’t know how the university can move forward in a positive manner with him still here.”
