The Clemson board of trustees held an emergency meeting for over 3 hours Monday afternoon.
Following the meeting there was no release from the University. Board Chairwoman Kim Wilkerson commented from a prepared statement at the conclusion of the meeting.
“The board expects the highest level of integrity, accountability and professionalism from all university employees,” Wilkerson said.” “When individuals fall short of these expectations, especially in ways that compromise the safety of our campus community and undermine the learning environment, decisive action is not only warranted, but necessary to uphold the university’s missions and values. Accordingly, the board supports President Clements in his efforts to take immediate and appropriate measures regarding the employees in question.
