Morris Brown College reinstated President Kevin James days after terminating him, citing procedural and contractual irregularities in his earlier removal. The HBCU’s board said the initial separation did not comply with the employment agreement and apologized for the disruption; the college faces an imminent accreditation reaffirmation, and board actions raised concerns about institutional stability. Local reporting has circulated internal grievances alleging harassment and misconduct tied to the earlier suspension; the board framed its reversal as restoring continuity and preparing for accreditation review. The episode spotlights governance fragility at resource‑constrained HBCUs and the reputational risks boards face when abruptly ousting senior leaders.
