CABINET/EDUCATION/PROTESTS/TRUMP PEOPLE/BETSY DEVOS: “A leading civil rights group on Monday [5-8-17] called for the resignation of top leaders at a historically black university where Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is set to deliver the commencement address.
The NAACP Florida State Conference is urging the university president and board chairman of Bethume-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, to step down following the announcement of DeVos’ speech last week.
The organization is claiming that faculty members have been threatened with termination and students could have their degrees withheld for speaking out against her appearance.
The university did not respond to CNN’s request for a comment on the NAACP letter.”
