It looks like Bethune-Cookman University isn’t giving “professional interim” Castell Bryant the same extended stay she enjoyed at FAMU. Castell is out as B-CU’s interim vice-president of academic affairs on August 13th.Her replacement will be Sarah Williams, chair of Prairie View A&M University’s Department of Social Work and Sociology. Williams earned her bachelor’s and doctoral degrees in sociology from The University of Texas at Austin. She also holds a Master of Social Work degree from The University of Houston.
Castell’s hiring was a bizarre development to many who are familiar with her record. Bryant came to B-CU with distinguished experience in attracting bad audits, wasting money, failing to pay employees on time, and blocking recruitment efforts. Currently, Cookman is experiencing an enrollment decline.
Cookman Rebel, a blogger who leads an online social networking site that’s seeking leadership change at B-CU, called Bryant the top “hatchet woman” of President Trudie Kibbe Reed and described her as “a very nasty old lady who abuses her power, uses individuals, and destroys the careers of those who stand in her way.”
There’s no word yet on whether Castell will continue in another administrative or faculty position at the school.
Currently, Cookman Rebel’s site is encouraging B-CU supporters to submit formal complaints against Reed’s administration to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which accredits the university.
hey no fair. they had the Castell Bryant that actually had her hair done by a professional. All we had was a Black Power Afropick with a dab of sheen.
