As Saint Augustine's University navigates through financial challenges, employees shared their concerns with WRAL News as they continue waiting for multiple paychecks. One employee said she's used money from her savings, and she's behind on rent due to the missed paychecks. "I haven't been able to buy essentials like groceries; haven't been able to buy basic stuff like toilet paper," she said. The university employee asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation from the school's governing board. Two former St. Augustine’s University employees, former president Dr. Christine McPhail and football coach Howard Feggins, both claim they were fired for speaking out against the school. Saint Augustine's University missed paychecks on Feb. 23. Paychecks were due again on Friday, March 8, but interim president Marcus Burgess told employees the checks would be delayed again.
