“Thanks to their leadership, the Board felt comfortable with moving forward, and has charged President Daniel Coleman with preparing for a public fundraising campaign to restore the College’s endowment,” Thompson said. “Please know that we are doing everything we can to ensure the best possible outcome for the College and for our campus community. The board continues to meet. We will provide an update later today.”Birmingham-Southern students weigh options while college maintains push for state bailout
