Union challenges Mott College president hiring, citing conflict

A faculty union sued Mott Community College's board, challenging the legality of the presidential hiring process due to alleged conflicts of interest. The lawsuit seeks to invalidate the appointment. The Mott Community College Education Association disputes the board's November vote to offer Shaunda Richardson-Snell the presidency. The suit alleges a conflict of interest involving a trustee's daughter and Richardson-Snell's real estate transaction. The union demands a transparent search process and seeks to invalidate Richardson-Snell's appointment. The board is scheduled to meet on Monday to finalize a contract for Richardson-Snell.
