The University’s Board of Trustees met Wednesday evening in the Chancellor’s Conference room to vote on a chair to finish out the term left after McQueen Campbell resigned Friday.

Campbell’s resignation came amidst controversy concerning his relationship with former governor Mike Easley and his wife Mary Easley, who was hired by the University during Campbell’s term as BOT chairman.

The BOT voted Vice Chairman Bob Jordan to head the Board and chose Cassius Williams to serve in Jordan’s position as Vice Chairman.

Chancellor James Oblinger, who did not attend the meeting but spoke via teleconference, commended all of the members of the Board for their commitment to the University.

“Thank you for your loyalty and continued dedication to North Carolina State,” Oblinger said.

Oblinger said he looked forward to working with Jordan who has six weeks remaining in his term.

“I’m looking forward to the next six weeks,” Jordan said.
