Chancellor blames economy for Easley firing
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - N.C. State University blamed the recession in a letter firing former first lady Mary Easley, making no mention of a hiring flap that has led to several resignations.
The termination letter from Interim Chancellor Jim Woodward was released Thursday. The university announced Monday its board of trustees had voted to end Easley's contract - which was paying her $170,000 a year to lead a speaker series and a public safety center - saying the duties for which she was hired no longer existed and that it was in the best interest of the university.
"I regret the necessity of this action," Woodward said in the letter dated Wednesday.
