I’m really glad to hear that C.B. Scott has been reinstated at Brewton Parker College. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the injustice of his firing and the surrounding circumstances. I had some strong words for the trustees of Brewton Parker then as well. And it’s because of the strong words I wrote then that I want to say an equally encouraging word of thankfulness today.
I’m not sure of the details, but from the SBC Voices post, it sounds like the interim president, Dr. Charlie Bass did the right thing. I have to assume that some of the trustees who were not fully involved from the outset decided to become involved more directly. So the trustees, post-resignation of trustee chairman Gary Campbell, are to be highly commended. It takes a lot of courage to reverse course and right a wrong in a situation like this. May the next chapter of Brewton Parker College be characterized by the kind of integrity and leadership we’ve seen over the last couple of days.
We’re still waiting for an official press release from Brewton Parker College on Scott’s reinstatement. I’m sure their Vice President of Communications is working on that as I type.
