Tashni Dubroy Steps in as Shaw University President

As the 17th president of Shaw University, Tashni Dubroy pledged Monday to boost finances, increase business partnerships and silence critics of the historically black school, now in its 150th year.  Dubroy, 34, is the third woman to lead Shaw and its second-youngest, and as a 2002 graduate in chemistry she touted her personal connection as key to transforming the Raleigh university in a time when the relevance of HBCUs is being questioned.
