Pine Manor president on leave amid questions about RCC stint

Alane Shanks, the former Roxbury Community College vice president of administration and finance who is a key figure in ongoing state and federal investigations at the college, is on paid administrative leave from her current job as president of Pine Manor College, effective immediately.

Pine Manor’s board chairwoman, Serena Kokjer Greening, said in a campus-wide email today that “the change follows reports of ongoing investigations at RCC, where Ms. Shanks was formerly employed. We support President Shanks and have allowed her this time on paid leave to deal with the current situation.”

paid leave to deal with a mess which she should be dealing with on her own dime?? are these people crazy or do they think that no one will complain? perhaps both. I guess they do "support President Shanks" who, quite frankly, ought to be on unpaid leave or just replaced. what is her golden parachute going to cost us ?? REPORTING needed.
