Univeristy of Louisville trustees will discuss President James Ramsey’s fate Wednesday, after abruptly canceling a July 26 meeting an hour before it was scheduled to begin. Tomorrow’s meeting begins at 3:30 p.m.
The Board of Trustees meeting was originally scheduled for Tuesday morning. Cindy Hess, U of L’s director of communications and marketing, said the meeting was rescheduled due to conflicts. It had been announced to the media Monday
Trustees will decide whether to accept Ramsey’s resignation at the meeting. Ramsey allegedly offered his resignation during a dubious executive meeting last week.
Wednesday’s meeting agenda includes discussion on what’s next for the presidency and the search process for the position. While Ramsey may retire from the university, he could remain president of the University of Louisville Foundation, U of L’s nonprofit endowment manager.
Ramsey has not clarified whether he will remain president of the Foundation and has dodged questions about it. He has come under fire for receiving $8 million in deferred compensation from the Foundation between 2012 and 2014.
