RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - After spending six months looking into the possible acquisition of Saint Paul's College, officials at Raleigh's St. Augustine's University announced they have ended their pursuit of the Virginia campus.
The announcement came from university officials on May 10, according to the Triangle Business Journal.
Officials said that after conducting due diligence, they concluded that acquiring the Virginia university would "significantly challenge the fiscal stability of Saint Augustine's University."
Saint Augustine's was founded by the Episcopal Church, as was St. Paul's.

CHARLOTTE, (AP) — The police chief of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has been placed on administrative leave during an internal investigation.

School board members would not talk about the situation.
Cesena has been the school police chief since 2006. He previously worked for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Deputy Chief Randy Hagler is the interim police chief.
There was no telephone listing for Cesena. |

RALEIGH, (AP) — Bills protecting organizational rights of student groups and student-led prayer are advancing in the North Carolina Senate.
The Senate Education Committee signed off on two bills Wednesday intended to protect free expression in schools and colleges.
One measure gives student organizations at the state's public colleges and universities the right to select leaders and govern themselves without interference from administrators.
Another bill clarifies students' rights to religious expression within the bounds of rules preventing disruptions of the educational process in public schools.
Some Democratic committee members questioned the need for both laws. Religious groups said they provide needed clarifications and protections.
Both bills passed with little to no opposition and will now head to the full Senate.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The supervising judge for the grand jury that investigated former Penn State administrators in their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal says the criminal case against them needs to move forward.
Judge Barry Feudale said in an order released Tuesday that continued delay of the case against Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley isn't in the interest of justice.
Feudale is giving prosecutors three days to challenge his decision to unseal motions by Schultz and Curley that sought to have a grand jury report against them thrown out.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office and a lawyer for Schultz had no immediate comment. A message left for Curley's defense team wasn't immediately returned.
Schultz and Curley have faced charges since late 2011, Spanier since last November. |
