The first female president of Shaw University is leaving her position after less than a year at the helm of one of the oldest historically black colleges in the South, WRAL News learned Tuesday.
The university called Irma McClaurin’s resignation a “mutually agreed-upon decision,” but declined to elaborate on the reason for her departure.
“This was a difficult decision by all parties, but we are in agreement that it is the best decision for all involved,” the university said in a news release.
