Virginia Union president stepping down June 30

Virginia Union has become the third area university in search of a new president with Belinda C. Anderson's announcement that she'll step down June 30.

Anderson told faculty members Tuesday the date she will leave the job she has held for five years, and she reiterated that it was her decision to move on.

"This is her decision, and she wanted the faculty to know that," said Lucille Brown, a member of VUU's board of trustees who attended the faculty meeting. Anderson announced Nov. 25 that she would resign to make way for new leadership, but did not say when.
