Alabama State: Let them Stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

Alabama State University is having a hard time getting some dorms renovated, according this article in the Montgomery Advertiser.  It seems the school has spent $1.6 million dollars and in return all they have to show is two gutted buildings and paychecks to architects and consultants.

 

The dorms in question were slated to open for the upcoming fall semester. The completion date has been moved back about a year. Strangely, though, the winning bidder to do the actual renovation work hasn't even been selected.

 

In the meantime, the school reports that students who were supposed to live in the dorms this fall will be put up in hotel rooms, although the article doesn't mention what hotels.

 

My question:  Is Nancy Worley on the ASU Board of Trustees. Oh, wait. Joe Reed is.
