N.C. State fires Mary Easley

N.C. State University's Board of Trustees has terminated the contract of Mary Easley.

The trustees said the duties of Easley's job no longer exist and her departure from N.C. State would be in the best interest of the university, Jay Price and J. Andrew Curliss report.

The termination comes on the same day that N.C. State University Chancellor James L. Oblinger resigned. Oblinger changed his stories for days about a deal he cut for former provost Larry Nielsen when Nielsen stepped down last month.

Nielsen created the $170,000 a year job for Easley.

If there's anything we should know about this farce - it's that it's never over. By the way, she wasn't fired. NCSU unilaterally terminated a contract. If you're dumbing it down, why not stoop to the cartoon mentality of NC voters and say she was shot out of a canon?

In NC, legislators don't seem upset by all this, nor the Easley's, nor the gov. Seems the only people who are upset are outside the circle of corruption.

Everyone inside the corruption looks calm and happy. I bet they'd get upset if someone told them that NC citizens were concerned - in a "Why are you bothering me" kind of way.

Um... Why did it take the N&O stories for the Trustees to do the "right" thing? Shouldn't they have been doing the "right" thing all along? Does this mean the taxpayers get Mary's, Mike's, Larry's, and Jame's salaries reimbursed back to us for them doing the "less than right" thing? Shall I hold my breath?

It's about time. Glad the trustees finally did the right thing. I wish the voters of NC would finally see what they are getting with their blind faith in Democrats running state government. How many cases of corruption does it take?
