WASHINGTON, DC - NAFEO urges Governor Perry to reconsider his decision to eliminate the Texas Southern University (TSU) Board and appoint a conservator for the University. NAFEO President Lezli Baskerville said, "Eliminating the Board would most assuredly impact TSU's accreditation. The SACS Principles of Accreditation require that its accreted institutions have a board of directors. The elimination of the Board could result in public sanction or loss of accreditation. The appointing of a conservator would make matters worse. It would cast a pall on and further destabilize the University." "It would also bode ill for the University's accreditation and deter enrollment and fund development - both of which have been on the rise in recent years. It would have a negative impact on the morale of faculty, administrators, staff, students and alumni. Some may flee," she said. "Surely this is not what Governor Perry intends," Baskerville added. continue...
