TSU's board of regents suspended President Priscilla Slade indefinitely Thursday night after spending 10 hours discussing her questionable use of university money on her new home.
The nine-member Texas Southern University board also voted to expand the outside investigation of Slade's spending beyond the $138,159 she spent landscaping and $85,000 furnishing her home.
Although regents offered no specifics, the probe will likely delve into the seventh-year president's use of three university-issued credit cards to charge more than $94,000 worth of meals, hotel rooms, event tickets and other travel and entertainment related expenses last year. Slade's employment contract includes a $50,000 annual limit for university-related travel and entertainment.
A committee of TSU officials will run the university in Slade's absence. The regents plan to meet again in May.
