KPRC-2 reports that an emergency meeting will be held by the regents of Texas Southern University Thursday to discuss the future of President Priscilla Slade:
The Texas Southern University’s Board of Regents will hold the emergency meeting at 10 a.m.
Sources told KPRC Local 2 that the board will discuss Slade’s employment status with the university and that the majority of the board has lost confidence in her leadership.
Sources told KPRC that regents would likely give Slade notice of termination. The other options include suspension or taking no action.
It was helpful of KPRC to clear up those options for any imbeciles who might have been following the story.
UPDATE (03-16-2006): The Chronicle reports that Slade has been suspended indefinitely:
TSU’s board of regents suspended President Priscilla Slade indefinitely tonight after spending 10 hours discussing her questionable use of university money on her new home.
KPRC-2 reports that Slade will take a paid leave during the ongoing investigation, and that the vice president of business (who passed personal hot checks in the past) has been fired:
President Priscilla Slade will take a voluntary, paid leave of absence pending the outcome of the investigation by an independent audit.

The regents decided the employment status of TSU vice president of business, Quentin Wiggins. He has been fired after being suspended for authorizing payment of Slade’s expenses.
