Exhausting and draining. That is how one NC State University Board of Trustees member living here in the east, describes Monday's ordeal over Mary Easley.

Bob Mattocks of Trent Woods in Craven County graduated from North Carolina State University in 1957, for the past eight years he has been on his Alma Mater's Board of Trustees.

He says Monday was one of the saddest days in school history, but certain decisions had to be made.

Jim Woodward was appointed the interim chancellor by UNC System President, Erskine Bowles. Woodward spent 16 years as Chancellor at UNC Charlotte.

It seems politicians can write their own ticket. It doesn't matter if you are the governor's wife or just a superintendent. All u need to know is the right individual. Belonging to a certain party doesn't make a difference. It is all in who you know!!!!!

"Local People React" - How about local "person". You have one comment and it "ain't" much. How about some of the guts of the story? If this were a Republican you can bet every little detail would be displayed for scrutiny. This is one of the poorest pieces of journalism that I have seen in a longtime. This wasn't even worth the time and effort of reading. It told you nothing but an opinion.

It doesn't matter wheather she was fired or let go. The tax payers do not have to support her.
