What happened to Dr. Pogue bringing Jesse Jackson to Grambling? Was that another one of his many lies told at Grambling?

Dr. Pogue did not want Jesse Jackson to come to GSU. The circumstances under which Rev. Jackson made his offer to come to our campus represented a failure by the Pogue Administration to satisfy our students. It is all of a piece: the firing of Doug Willians; the football player strike; vote of no confidence by the SGA; and the firings of President Pogue; Provost Walton; and Vice President for Student Affairs Stacey Duhon.

I can only judge Dr. Pogue by what I hear him say.....I heard him say that he wanted Jesse Jackson to come to Grambling.....He could have been lying, but he said it more than once......Rev. Jackson was concerned by the state of Louisiana failing to properly fund GSU, so his beef wasn't about anything you mentioned including Dr. Pogue.....We as Gramblinites should be as concerned as Rev. Jackson because that is real.

Their you go again. That is a lie about Dr. Pogue not wanting Jesse Jackson to come to the university. Also I checked and the SGA didn't vote a no confidence in Dr. Pogue. Please prove me wrong and submit the documentation. Also Dr. Pogue wasn't fired at all. Some of the sh@t you post are amazing!

Meet Dr. Warrick this past Thursday at early registration and she spoke to the students and she was down to earth in speech to them. I like the way she explain about getting in school and doing your work and graduating on time. She also talked about her first semester when she was failing and had to drop band to concentrate on her academics because she couldn't do both. She has a great sense of humor. One last thing she told the students if they have any problems to please email her and she gave them her email address.

Jackson because that is real. OMG, you are incredibly out of touch and misinformed. The SGA Senate met before Spring Break to consider a Bill of No Confidence against President Pogue and his Administration. This action was the culmination of 3 years of the students' trying to get the ear of the President and having him take positive action on their concerns. Some of the students were concerned about who they would get as Acting President if they forced Dr. Pogue out. They were particularly concerned that Provost Connie Walton might assume the Presidency leaving them "worse-off than we are now." The result of that meeting was to table the Bill. The SGA Senate agreed to reconvene after Spring Break at which time they would vote the Bill of No Confidence out and send it to the student body. However, during Spring Break, ULS President Sandra Woodley asked Dr. Pogue to retire. V. P. for Student Affairs Stacey Duhon would be removed ASAP. President Woodley kept in close contact with the student leadership throughout Spring Break. She worked like a Trojan to keep GSU student discontent under control. Dr. Pogue reassigned V. P. Duhon from Student Affairs to Advancement. He moved Rusty Ponton to the V. P. for Student Affairs office. Things were under control. Dr. Woodley had avoided a vote of no confidence in GSU's Administration. However, they fact that Duhon has merely changed offices did not sit well with them. The fact that Connie Walton remained as Provost was even less palatable. The fact that no one else had been removed from office had them upset. Into this volatile mix, Dr. Pogue visited the next regular meeting of the SGA Senate. He took the Senate to task for ever considering a vote of no confidence against him. He told them that he was respected across the Nation and that " no confidence is not a term associated with me." The SGA Senate dutifully listened to President Pogue. After he was done speaking, he left. The Senate revived its Bill of No Confidence and voted it out unanimously. No confidence may not have been associated with Dr. Pogue before, but it is associated with him now. Epilogue: Dr. Woodley had the same talk with Connie Walton that Dr. Moffett had with Robert Dixon. That is, Dr. Woodley told Walton to get out of Dodge. She asked Walton to step down effective May 18--Commencement Day. Walton had written her letter of resignation and was prepared to submit it. However, Dr. Pogue ordered her not to submit the letter of resignation and to stay on the job. Suffice it to say, it did not sit well with Dr. Woodley to have Dr. Pogue countermand her orders. There are many of us who believe that her displeasure is reflected in the handling of the demotions of Walton and Duhon.

It is nothing you said that will convince me that I didn't hear Dr. Pogue say that he wanted Rev. Jackson to visit Grambling.....Everything you posted is pure rhetoric.....I followed the students action just as close as you did and only wondered why didn't the faculty not have the same balls the student had.

This man is amazing because I talked to some in the SGA and their was never a no confidence vote on Dr. Pogue at all. Before he stated they voted on it now he is back tracking in this reply to you. Faculty senate had no problem with Dr. Pogue as well. Once again, please show the proof Mr. Evens.

I don't recall a vote of no confidence from the faculty senate like they did with Dr. Judson. Also were is the proof from the SGA? Still waiting on mrevens to show this as well. We were set back twenty or more years before they came to our campus. Hell we still playing catch up now compared to other PWC's in Louisiana.

Ed my man, Dr. Pogue was given an opportunity to transition, but he had to get out of town.....If he wasn't told to depart, then he would have stayed until a permanent president was brought in.....Now inquiring minds want to know, is Dr. Warrick the permanent president? I don't want to get some of you alarmed, but you do need to know something that Dr. Pogue told a group of Gramblinites......He said" that what keep him up at night is that he might be handing the keys to the next president to close our doors"......I can assure you that he said it.

There is an old saying: "None is so blind as he who will not see." Dr. Pogue leaving in good standing? Don't say that do Dr. Woodley while she is hooked-up to a blood pressure machine.
Ray asked why did Dr. Pogue leave so quickly. A better question is why did he leave at all. Dr. Pogue did not want to leave. He absolutely loved being the President of Grambling State University and would have happily died in the job. And, if you can't accept that one, then you have no way to explain why Connie Walton and Stacey Duhon were run off campus. They can't be fired outright because both have tenure. However, their salaries will receive the maximum reduction allowed if either returns after six months away. If they were leaving in good standing, then they would have received the maximum salaries in their teaching fields upon losing their administrative jobs.
The bottom line is that your construction of events makes no sense.

No doors are closing. Fear-mongering or self-serving statement at best.
Now, repurposing, reduction or altered primary mission, would not be closing the doors.

You really stoops low at times to prove your point.

Pink12 My intent was not too fear monger, but to report to this board what Dr. Pogue said.....If you are questioning whether he said that, then man you are really out of the loop.....I have no reason too say that unless I know that he said it.

I was there, in living color, in the meeting where Dr. Pogue said that it keeps him awake at night; the fear that "the next GSU President will be processing closure papers for this university". I HEARD HIM, BUGG.
