Can someone provide information to the problems and outcome of the Bd of Trustees vote regarding A&M's President.
 



President Gibson will no longer be at AAMU.... the news didnt say if he was fired of he resigned... But AAMU has grown TREMENDOUSLY over the past 9 years he was there.
 
I knew Gibson when he was at ASU and then as the President of A&M. He was a good leader and great public image. A&M was blessed to have had him as a President. I wish Gibson and his family peace, and many blessings.
 
Gibson, enemies finally completed their mission after 9 years to get him out of office. The board President was smiling from ear to ear on the news this afternoon. He was on a mission from the day of his appointment to fire the President. In fact, we had fought the appointment of the new members and had that stopped, but some other alums got involved without knowing the political structure and convienced key legislators to approve them and this is the results. Many have said the Governor wanted him out. But you win some and you lose some, now we will see what the new board comes up with. He will be missed and I believe AAMU will never be same.

Sorry to hear that MD. Politics at our schools sometimes just make me :upset: Of course I find solace in that the University is always bigger than any individuals or one person so yall will be okay. Just have to be on watch is all.
 
If your enemies outnumber your friends on the BOT's then you have no job security at our universitys. Job performance no longer matters. It's all about the BOT's members wanting to show how much power they have to inflate thier egos. If he is a friend of joe reed and if reed gets the governor to make the right appointments (or wrong if you think like I do) to our board, then there is a strong possibility he will probally resurface at ASU this spring.
 
I agree.

A few years ago, Joe told me the reason we had problems at AAMU, we didn't have anyone looking our for us. Joe like him or not said that as long as he is alive he will be looking out for Alabama St. I also was told that 21 of the black Legislators are Alabama St. Graduates.

I met most of them at the SCG. I expect some people are going to be disappointed when the New President start chopping. Seems like we are going to have a fight on our hands with this new BOT President. Some of his classmates said he is still upset about life when he was a student and nobody would accept him. :) He said the Alumni means nothing to him, so I guess we can keep our money in our pockets.
 
MD: The only thing that joe reed is looking out for is joe reed. Contrary to popular belief he has no love for ASU or Black people in Alabama period. If he did he would not cause so much chaos within the University. He is at the root of all the negative publicity coming from the University. He is all about EGO and POWER. The problem with the legislators who are ASU graduates is that joe probally helped 18 of them get elected, so he has them in his back pocket. You guys at A&M should be thankful that joe did not go to school in Huntsville. I'm not wishing death on anyone but ASU will not prosper until there is this big funeral with a short casket in the Acadome.
 
This is definitely a rough day for all Bulldogs who have passed through in the last few years! Gibson did nothing wrong. It seems to me as though there were some personal issues that the Trustee's had with Gibson. I hate it that it came to this but ......life goes on!!!

There has been a transfer of power at AAMU, now we will see what the non-supporters are going to do with it. When a new President is selected, I hope that he would rid the school of all the non-supporters. In their minds they are looking out for AAMU, but the majority of the Alumni, faculty, support staff and Huntvillians were for Gibson. They expect all of us to fall in line and continuing supporting the University like nothing has happened. The President Pro Tem, I was told was upset because he was given football tickets in the skybox. Nothing has ever been proven against the President. Even appeared before the State Ethic commission and won that battle also.

Now that the other team has the ball it is up to us to give them Hell and hold them accountable. I was told by a top state official that if AAMU got rid of Gibson local businesses and large companies will give millions to AAMU. Like I told him that will never happened, but I am going to keep reminding him before he is kicked out of office.

Why is this information listed on the Sportsboard? Please moderator remove to small talk or where you deem necessary.
 



Reasons to fire a faculty member for cause, according to A&M's faculty handbook, which is cited in Gibson's contract, include "moral turpitude, neglect of duty, incompetence, inability to perform a job properly, commission of a felony or gross insubordination."
