Thank Goodness
Johnnetta Cole, president of Bennett College, has rescinded her offer to resign from the college. This is outstanding news for the local college that serves black women.
Cole arrived at Bennett three years ago when the school was near financial collapse. Since has then she has established financial stability, and the school has been reaccredited.
Part of establishing that stability has been tightening the school's fiscal belt. Some faculty members had become critics of Cole during that process.
Cole has the business skills to manage the school and the charisma to raise Bennett's visibility. She is an asset to our community. Thank goodness she is staying at Bennett.
