YOUNGSTOWN — Scott R. Schulick, Youngstown State University Board of Trustees chairman, has sent university President David C. Sweet a letter making it clear the president’s job there will end on June 30, 2010.
The board of trustees told Sweet it isn’t interested in renegotiating any terms of his current contract, which ends on that date.
Schulick’s letter was dated Wednesday. He wrote that the board’s executive committee met twice (with only one trustee not in attendance) to discuss suggestions to alter the contract as proposed by Atty. John F. Burns, representing Sweet.
“Following these discussions it is clear, and you are so advised, that the Trustees’ position regarding your employment contract remains unchanged. That is, there will be no modifications or side-arrangements to the terms of your employment and/or employment agreement prior to (or after) their conclusion on June 30, 2010,” the letter said.

This is terrible news for the university. He has been a great President and has overseen many improvements to the university and has lead to it continued growth. I wonder what the situation is with his contract and why they can not work something out.
you must not know that he ousted Dr. See and others, depite student outrage and against faculty petition. you need to look more into the background of ysu since he has been there and you will realize he has made bad choices.
HUZZAH!!!!! This is indeed "sweet" news!!!!! WHOOHOOOOOO!!!!!
Please take the time and make the effort to pick a president worthy of Youngstown's prime asset. This guy was a Cleveland State reject, and it shows.
