The Houston Forward Times did a great job explaining how the malfeasance of our unqualified board is at fault.
as the controversial and shocking decision by the Texas Southern University (TSU) Board of Regents to place current TSU President Dr. Austin A. Lane on administrative leave with pay a justifiable move or is there seriously something more nefarious behind the recent actions of the majority of the TSU Board of Regents that need further explanation?
Many in the community found themselves scratching their heads in disbelief this past Friday, January 10th, after news that the TSU Board of Regents had made the decision to place Dr. Lane on administrative leave with pay pending an investigation by the audit committee. A video of the meeting, which was held at the Houstonian Hotel, shows the audit committee make the recommendation. TSU Board Chair, Hasan K. Mack, then called for a motion and a second, but not before Regent Derrick Mitchell expressed his disappointment with the surprise decision before the official vote was cast. Per the video, it appears Regent Mitchell was the lone vote against the move, while it was noted that Regent Ron J. Price abstained from the vote.
The Board made the decision without providing any facts, justification or details about what Dr. Lane could have possibly done to justify being temporarily stripped of his power as president, while an investigation, that has allegedly been going on for several months, continues.
Again, no facts or details have been given by the Board, but they did release a statement, saying:
“The Board is committed to ensuring all activities at the University are conducted in an ethical and transparent manner in accordance with the University’s mission, vision and values. The University will have no further comment at this time.”

Administrative Leave or Something Else? Is This About Dr. Austin Lane or Will This Uncover Something Deeper and More Sinister?
