Saint Augustine’s University faces leadership upheaval as interim president Marcus H. Burgess resigns amid accreditation crises and ongoing legal battles related to governance and discrimination allegations. The university’s Board of Trustees is also undergoing changes with recent leadership departures concurrent to efforts to restore institutional stability. Similarly, Florida Memorial University’s Board of Trustees has fractured over a leadership dispute, reflecting governance challenges in higher education. These developments underscore persistent institutional instability affecting historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other campuses.
