Chairman of Erskine College sues church denomination
March 11, 2010
A top official with a private South Carolina college is asking a court to block the school's founding denomination from appointing new trustees, in what many see as a church versus college power struggle. The lawsuit accuses the governing body of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church of illegally removing nearly half of Erskine College's board earlier this month in a power grab. The struggle between the liberal arts college and the denomination has been ongoing for more than three decades, said college spokesman Rick Hendricks.
