DOVER, Del. – University officials say this is the greatest real estate transaction in the history of Delaware. They tell us, to see their plans really come together to combine the University and college is historical. Their academic plans for students were well thought out, with success in mind. “Really what we’re doing is preserving a rich legacy and building capacity for the future of Delaware State University,” says Tony Allen, President of Delaware State University.
An historic moment for the first state as DSU set the plans for opening their health-themed academic college on downtown DSU campus, or previously known as Wesley’s campus. “Our vision is to be the most diverse, substantive contemporary HBCU’s in the country and that starts with doing things like this in a big way,” says Allen.
Student Online Petition Urges SBU Trustees to Reverse Tenure Denials
After
Word&Wayreported yesterday (Feb. 4) that trustees at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, had denied tenure or promotion to five faculty members, an SBU student created a petition at change.org urging the trustees to reverse their decision.
The unusual move by the trustees came amid a two-year controversy over control and theology at the school, and as the school already faces an inquiry by its accreditation body after a complaint about earlier actions by the trustees and the Missouri Baptist Convention that elected them. Until recently, most of the controversy involved efforts to drive out several religion professors in the school’s Redford Division of Christian Ministry.
