COLUMBIA S.C.
Former South Carolina State University President Andrew Hugine failed to meet the expectations of his board of trustees in two areas, according to his performance review released by the school.
Hugine was fired last month for what the board said was poor performance.
The evaluation released last week shows that the board gave him an overall score of 2.84 out of a possible 5.0.
The board said Hugine failed to improve the university’s infrastructure and that several academic programs, including teaching and nursing, were in danger of being eliminated.
Hugine did not comment on the evaluation, but released his official response to the review after the board released his evaluation. In his response, Hugine said several criticisms were wrong.
“There are challenges in our teacher education program and appropriate personnel changes will be made to provide more effective leadership to address these challenges,” Hugine said.
