Dr Cassander P. Titley-O’Neal Out! Abruptly resigns from HLSCC
Current College Dean of Arts, Science and General Studies and professor, indigenous Virgin Islander Cassander P. Titley-O’Neal PhD, has tendered her resignation to take effect from December 6, 2016 according to several Board Members, speaking to our newsroom on condition of anonymity.
With her required three months’ notice, Dr Titley-O’Neal’s absolute last day and separation from HLSCC is expected to be on March 6, 2017 according to a senior college administrator.
Dr Titley-O’Neal, who has been at the college for some 15 years, could not be reached for comments up to publication time; however, the source claimed that her resignation was because of “breach of contract and pervasive mold.”
It is also reported that sometime in August of this year Dr Titley-O’Neal’s office ceiling collapsed over her desk. It is unclear what corrective measures were taken after this incident or if she was in the physical office at the time of the mishap.
When asked by the same College Board source, if Dr O’Neal is an applicant for the vacant post of President, the response was “No! She has no interest, she just wants out….”
Businesswoman & Environmental Expert
The senior college lecturer and Virgin Gordian Dr Titley-O’Neal is also the founder and owner of Environment Systems Ltd, a local environmental consulting agency that was started in 2004.
The firm specialises in environmental regulations and policy, including providing Environmental Impact Assessments. It also provides clients with information on reefs and oceanography, marine life, coastal engineering, environmental monitoring and hydrology.
Dr Titley-O’Neal herself is a specialist in the marine environment, pollution studies and some marine species unique to Canada and the Virgin Islands, according to information from her Company’s webpage.
In recent months, the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College has been rocked by financial hardship and have struggled to pay staff and faculty salaries on the payment due date.
Money wasted on wall; None for Higher Education
The College is part of the portfolio of the controversial Minister for Education and Culture Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL).
Mr Walwyn has been under fire for spending over $1Million on a small wall around the Elmore Stoutt High School in Road Town just before the 2015 snap election.
Many of Hon Walwyn's critics have said that money could have been better used to support the needs of the college.

We want the type of aero plane and the detail cost for lease or purchase and the operating cost including food and airport fees.
"not much is being done to RATIFY the problem."
Come again? How does one "ratify" mold? I do agree that the territory has gone to the dogs, and with it, our education system.
Definition - Ratify: Sign or give formal consent to (a treaty, contract, or agreement), making it officially valid:
‘both countries were due to ratify the treaty by the end of the year’
Sitting for too long and she looks it. Any written publications with all those degrees? Time for her to get up and walk out so her job can be activated for real.

What have you written? What have you done with your life other than run you blasted mouth on this blog about things you don't know.
Feel better and not bitter. I had nothing to do with it, I wont lie.
It appears to be that efforts are being made to make it what it was intended to be, that is,a College.
Dr. O'Neal was supported and has supported the college for many years. It is a ashame and an abomination that they have allowed to treat another professional with such disrespect!!! Dr. O'Neal will have the last laugh because as a black female who has doctorate in a science area, she can go anywhere in the world and find employment if she wanted to. President (and i use the term very loosely) is destroying the college, the old lady needs to go ASAP.
And will the "old lady" be contacted as a reference?
Just might give her resume a boost to the can.
Wishing her the best of luck!
