The Raleigh City Council approved a redevelopment plan that allows Shaw University to establish long-term leasing agreements for retail, office, and residential buildings on campus. Separately, alumni formed the Save Our Shaw Coalition and filed a formal complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office regarding the university’s financial management. The complaint cites an audit finding that $2 million in endowed gifts were used for other expenses.
