Just over a week after being fired, Kevin James has been reinstated as President of Morris Brown College. However, a local Atlanta tv station, Channel 2 Action News, reported it obtained multiple internal documents containing allegations of sexual harassment, abuse, intimidation, and threats involving James.The allegations were detailed in grievances filed by at least four Morris Brown staff members. According to the report, James did not respond to questions from Channel 2 since his termination last week. The college did not publicly release the documents.Channel 2 Action News reported that one grievance accused James of managerial intimidation, misuse of authority, policy violations, and fostering a hostile work environment. Another staff member alleged unprofessional administrative conduct, harassment, presidential overreach, and improper termination practices.One grievance described James as “impulsive, tone deaf,” and accused him of lacking professionalism and moral judgment. Miller said those descriptions aligned with concerns he had previously raised directly with James.Former Morris Brown trustee Jeffery Miller, who voted to hire James seven years ago, expressed concern over the situation and its impact on the institution.“It’s going to make the board look incompetent, and that’s never good at any institution,” Miller said.Miller acknowledged James’ earlier success, stating he still stands by his original vote at the time. However, he said circumstances have changed. Miller added that the current board acted appropriately in November when James was suspended after learning of multiple grievances.“I think this person’s time is up at Morris Brown and it’s time to move forward,” Miller said.
