NCSU fires alumni chief

Bookmark and Share

The head of N.C. State's alumni association is out of a job.

NCSU Chancellor James Woodward has sacked Lennie Barton, who has led the association since 2003.

NCSU is the state's largest university, with more than 32,000 students. But it's alumni membership hasn't grow over the last few years, hovering around 22,000 paying members.

 By contrast, the UNC Chapel Hill alumni association, which is much older, boasts about 70,000 members.

But was there another reason for Barton's firing?

Jay Price reports.
