Op-ed: The Birmingham News on Yvonne Kennedy

Bishop State’s
controversial president is retiring at the end of the month, but now says she’ll
be sticking around campus. What part of “leave” does she not
understand?

Yvonne Kennedy is getting
a better deal from taxpayers than they have gotten from her. Taxpayers
certainly didn’t deserve the latest insult from the outgoing president of
Bishop State Community College.

Her parting shot? She’s
retiring, but not leaving.

Just last month, Kennedy
announced she’d retire at the end of July, news that came in the midst of
complaints about her lousy management and calls for her to be fired.

Now, Kennedy says she’ll
be sticking around campus after retirement to write a book about Bishop State.

Better yet, her lawyer
said, she’ll be on hand to offer advice to those trying to clean up the
troubled community college.
