Dr. Wayne Watson, President of
Chicago State University, had sent this statement to the university community about the
news that broke this week about him stepping down from his post. It seems he doesn't plan to leave his post beyond his sabbatical.
TO THE CHICAGO
STATE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY:
“There have been
some statements in the media regarding my position at Chicago State University
that I wish to correct.
Several days ago,
I requested approval of an administrative sabbatical by the CSU Board of
Trustees. During the proposed sabbatical, I would first and foremost, be able to
better help my 96 year old dad whom I feel has suffered most from my current
24-7 commitment to the University. I would also have more time for the level of
academic research and writing I wish to achieve as president of a major American
University. I have not resigned as CSU's President and no date is set for the
sabbatical to begin, if approved. Even though press reports have included some
inaccuracies, I am grateful for the thoughtful remarks about our turnaround at
the University and my part in it. Clearly, our work continues.”
If the people of the 6th Ward want more information, they can watch Dr. Watson on Chicago Tonight - Remember to also read the comments.
