Cole reaffirmed
In ways both symbolic and tangible, this week's campus turmoil has clearly benefited Bennett College President Johnnetta Cole.
Fed up with a group of faculty who consistently opposed her initiatives, Cole abruptly quit on Wednesday and then un-quit Friday morning.
In between she galvanized her support on campus and off and effectively marginalized her detractors.
The students rallied on Cole's behalf and even called for the faculty rebels' resignation. Trustees hinted that if some heads needed to roll, so be it.
One student said Thursday night that she had boycotted classes with two of the disgruntled teachers and fully supported Cole.
Meanwhile, more money came in. Bennett students collected donations. So did their counterparts at UNCG and A&T.
At Cole's campus news conference on Friday morning, an impromptu church service erupted. Someone broke into a rendition of "Lean On Me." Others chimed in.
A businessman pledged a $5,000 donation. Just like that a collection among students and community members began.
They apparently weren't the only ones who'd gotten religion.
Cole said she received a petition of support Thursday that was signed by 54 of Bennett's 55 faculty members. That presumably means most, if not all, of the malcontents signed on.
The widespread news coverage hasn't hurt, either. Bennett was in the headlines again. Cole had been challenged and Cole had triumphed.
Sister President made a statement this week. And we heard it loud and clear.

Having met and talked with Doctor Cole several times I can assure you she is the best thing to happen to Bennett College in mine and your lifetimes-- I was happy when those in her office told me this afternoon that she is staying.

I'm not clear on WHY she quit in the first place. It appeared there was an outpouring of love and support for her, what was going on prior to her announcement to resign?

The whole situation reeks of a ploy to raise money. Cole quits, but conveniently can't give any details on this supposed faction that was hindering her work. The campus and community rally around her, raising a bunch of money and Cole rescinds her resignation. Sounds fishy to me, and frankly, the News & Record's coverage has been lacking. The questions raised in this ordeal need answering, but the N&R has treated it like it's such a great thing that Cole came back.
Even if the event wasn't a ploy, I don't think it says much about Cole that she would be willing to quit but can be convinced to return. If you are ready and willing to quit, you need to go through with it.

I agree Jason, 'round hurrr we call it a attention whore. LOL.

One issue I forgot to mention in my comments above:
After Cole resigns, she gets a confidence vote from 54 out of 55 faculty members. It sounds like this faction is a one-man operation, or maybe there was no faction ...

Or maybe, as I hypothesized in my post, the dissidents saw they were hopelessly outnumbered and surrendered.

Maybe Allen, but.... maybe she's just on an ego trip?

From what I know and heard about her, she doesn't seem to be that type. Plus, I am aware of similar turmoil on the campus under the previous two presidents. In a small, familial setting such as Bennett's, I would imagine it's not uncommon. But I could be wrong.

Attention Whore? Who knows.
Why people do the things they do is beyond me.
My opinion is, she would NOT of done it if she REALLY thought she was NOT going to continue working there.
Just my two cents.

Lily, while all opinions are more than welcome in this blog, I would appreciate your not using terms such as "attention whore." It strikes me as degrading and disrespectful. I value your point of view but not, at least in this case, your terminology.
Posted on May 3, 2005 7:48 PM
I apologize if the term offended you.
Maybe you, as a professional man of words with your degree and all, could help me find a substitute word for the one I used that would express the same thing?
Allen, I keep it real and call 'em like I see 'em, but I will do my best to clean up my language just for you. :)

Thanks, Lily, for your candor and your understanding.

Allen, I FOUND the word! In the letters to the Editor! GRANDSTANDING! :) How's that? She was GRANDSTANDING!! Wooo Hoooo!!
