Shaw U. President, Third in Three Years, Quits

Irma McClaurin has resigned as president of Shaw University after less than a year in office, The Raleigh News & Observer reported. McClaurin and the university described the decision to leave as mutual, but did not reveal much more than that. She was the university's third president in the last three years. The historically black college, which has struggled financially, suffered major damage in April from a tornado that hit the campus.
