Shaw University Board of Trustees Chairman Willie Gary announced Monday that Dorothy Cowser Yancy will return for a second stint as interim university president next month.
The announcement comes after Dr. Irma McClaurin resigned the presidency last Tuesday.
Yancy is the former president of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte. She served as interim president before McClaurin was named to the post.
McClaurun served as the university’s 15th president for less than a year following a September 2010 appointment. Sources tell ABC11 that her relationships with faculty and staff quickly soured when she fired several professors soon after taking control.
