Retrial set for former university president
Ousted Texas Southern University President Priscilla Slade is set to be retried March 24 on charges that she spent university money on personal expenses. A two-month trial ended a week ago in a mistrial after the jury said they were deadlocked at 6 to 6. Her lawyers have argued that Slade was using university money to court donors and enhance the Houston school's image in the community.
