WRAL reports that N.C. State Chancellor James Oblinger has asked for Mary Easley’s resignation:
North Carolina State University Chancellor James Oblinger on Monday
asked for the wife of former Gov. Mike Easley to leave her university
post.The move comes in the wake of the resignation of two N.C.
State officials and federal and state investigations into the former
governor’s dealings with friends and campaign donors.Oblinger
said her resignation would be in the university’s best interests and
that he had discussed the issue with her. He declined to comment
further, calling it a personnel issue.Mary Easley couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Last year, Mary Easley discussed her “unique” qualifications for the job, and its value to the university. Oblinger must have decided that they were not of that much value to the university after all.
