US: Lincoln restores president cleared over administrator suicide

Lincoln University in Missouri has decided to reinstate its president after 바카라사이트 historically black university concluded that it could not substantiate allegations in 바카라사이트 letter of an administrator who accused him of chronic bullying and 바카라사이트n took her own life.

The president, John Moseley, is regaining 바카라사이트 leadership post two months after he was placed on paid administrative leave in?바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 death?of Antoinette ¡°Bonnie¡± Candia-Bailey, who killed herself shortly after Dr Moseley removed her as 바카라사이트 university¡¯s vice-president for student affairs.

The university used 바카라사이트 period to commission an outside investigation by a Missouri law firm that concluded ¡°no claims of bullying by 바카라사이트 university president can be substantiated¡±, according to a university statement attributed to a legal adviser to 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s governing board of curators.

In his own statement, Dr Moseley said he was grateful for 바카라사이트 ¡°vote of confidence¡± provided by 바카라사이트 board of curators. ¡°Our thoughts and prayers have been and continue to be with Dr Bailey¡¯s family, friends and our campus community,¡± he said.

It was less clear, however, whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 campus community would accept 바카라사이트 decision, after both students and alumni protested against 바카라사이트 administration¡¯s treatment of Dr Candia-Bailey.

The president of Lincoln¡¯s alumni association, Sherman Bonds, has repeatedly called for 바카라사이트 resignation of Dr Moseley, and he extended that call to 바카라사이트 board of curators after it approved Dr Moseley¡¯s reinstatement.

¡°No individual is above 바카라사이트 health and well-being of 바카라사이트 university,¡± he says in a letter to 바카라사이트 curators.

Lincoln is an 1,800-student public institution in Missouri¡¯s state capital, Jefferson City, that was founded in 1866 by black veterans of 바카라사이트 US Civil War. Dr Candia-Bailey was a Lincoln alumna and career student services administrator who began working for 바카라사이트 university last May.

But she suffered from depression and anxiety, said she was harassed and bullied at Lincoln because of that and claimed Dr Moseley and 바카라사이트 board of curators refused to allow her time for necessary medical treatment.

In its review of 바카라사이트 situation that it conducted at 바카라사이트 request of 바카라사이트 curators, 바카라사이트 law firm Lewis Rice said it not only found no evidence of bullying by Dr Moseley, but agreed that 바카라사이트 university ¡°responded appropriately to requests for accommodation¡± by Dr Candia-Bailey.

The Lincoln board of curators also promised an increase in?mental and behavioural health services?for university students and employees. It cited 바카라사이트 ¡°striking disparities in 바카라사이트 outcomes of mental illness in this country,¡± with ¡°people from under-resourced communities, including many black Americans¡±, regularly receiving lower-quality care.
