The group said it received a complaint that Richardson-Snell had made \u201cproselytizing religious comments\u201d on several occasions and asked a guest at a college event if they had accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. According to the group, such behavior would violate the First Amendment\u2019s establishment of religion clause.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMott Community College is a public, governmental institution and exists to serve all of its students and community regardless of faith or belief,\u201d Ian Smith, staff attorney for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, wrote in the letter obtained by Bridge Michigan. \u201cAllowing any College employee-but especially an employee as high profile as the President-to use their positions to religiously proselytize students, employees, or visitors conveys disrespect for the beliefs of the community and sends the message that those who do not practice the officially favored faith are unwelcome outsiders who do not belong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special board meeting is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday to develop a response to the organization and community, said Trustee John Daly, who called the meeting and told Bridge he plans to call for an independent investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/talent-education\/hillsdale-teams-with-trump-on-us-history-in-divided-land-not-all-are-thrilled\/\"><strong>Hillsdale teams with Trump on US history.

Neither<strong> <\/strong>Richardson-Snell, the college\u2019s lawyer nor the five other five board members responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the people to whom Richardson-Snell reportedly spoke about her faith in her official capacity is Wayne <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antinanco.org\/waynewilson\">Wilson<\/a>, a member of the Navajo Nation (Din\u00e9) in Arizona, who planted Mott Community College\u2019s Peace and Dignity Tree on campus in 1992 to honor the global movement uniting indigenous communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has since traveled back to the campus for the annual Peace and Dignity Ceremony, held annually on Indigenous Peoples Day in October to promote cultural unity through indigenous traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson told Bridge Michigan that during the 33rd celebration last October, Richardson-Snell approached him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe asked me if I had accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior,\u201d said Wilson, who spoke during the ceremony and mentioned living in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bia.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/dup\/inline-files\/bsi_investigative_report_may_2022_508.pdf\">federal Indian boarding school<\/a> run by Christians. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it. I thought: Has she not read the history of boarding schools?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an enrollment of 6,718 students in 2024, Mott is among the largest of Michigan\u2019s 28 community colleges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She began serving in 2024 as interim president, following the departure of Beverly Walker-Griffea. In July 2024, Walker-Griffea became the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/mileap\/press-releases\/2024\/07\/08\/mileap-welcomes-director-dr-beverly-walker-griffea-announces-staff-changes\">first director <\/a>of the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The board appointed Richardson-Snell as the permanent president in 2025 without a national search, Daly said, a move to which some board members objected. Her contract awarded her a $300,000 annual salary, Daly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is \u201can enterprise leader and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of global, multi-industry leadership and financial management experience in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors,\u201d and has worked for General Motors, TI Fluid Systems, Trinity Health and Delphi Corporation, according to Mott Community College\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcc.edu\/president\/index.shtml\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l1DzsU-PnUU\">October <\/a>&nbsp;Mott College board meeting, retired Mott professor Celia Perez Booth spoke directly to the comments that Richardson-Snell reportedly made to Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perez Booth said Richardson-Snell\u2019s question about Wilson\u2019s beliefs<strong> <\/strong>showed a \u201clack of sensitivity and civility\u201d and she called the question &#8220;contemptuous,&#8221; despicable,\u201d \u201crepugnant\u201d and \u201cdisgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is disgusting to us, as a people of First Nation, that more than 500 years later, we as American Indians have to endure a Christian\u2019s continued intrusion on our spiritual rights and I suspect attempts of conversion,\u201d Perez Booth said. \u201cYour behavior, Shaunda, brings back a lot of ugly, painful memories of abuse by this government and at the hands of Christians, especially in the boarding schools. And as a people, we are still healing from that historical trauma.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow can we trust you or have respect for you when you use your position to disrespect us with questions that are reprehensible to us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later in the October board meeting, Trustee Art Reyes said if the incident occurred as reported, an apology should come. He also said he got a call from a student who said he went to one of the president\u2019s coffee times and asked a question to her about artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe president asked him if he was aware of the one truth and that there was only one truth and then started espousing her beliefs \u2026 then further went on that there\u2019s a struggle for the world and the devil was involved,\u201d Reyes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days after the meeting, Daly said that Richardson-Snell called him and told him that the question she asked Wilson was not in her official role as president. It was a private conversation, Daly said she told him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daly said, \u201cThis was an event hosted by Mott Community College? She said yes. You were there as the president of Mott Community? In that environment, I don\u2019t see how you have any private conversations.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richardson-Snell did not respond, Daly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation is concerning because it\u2019s a disregard of the nation\u2019s founding fathers to avoid religious civil wars by keeping church and state separate, said Paul Jordan, a retired social worker who taught at Mott Community College for more than a decade and attended the October board meeting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Dec. 12, Americans United for Separation of Church and State sent two letters to the college and board members. Daly said it was mailed to him anonymously on Dec. 27 and other board members said they had not seen it until then either. The letters showed up at the college in mid-January, Daly said college officials told him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Wednesday\u2019s special meeting will be the first time that the board will discuss the letter from Americans United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Complaints about President Shaunda Richardson-Snell reached Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which sent a letter to the college asking it to stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1813,"featured_media":72733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2026-02-13T23:02:45Z","apple_news_api_id":"83b8bb2a-f28c-4ebe-84c0-400de7382d90","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2026-02-14T12:05:21Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAg==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Ag7i7KvKMTr6EwEAN5zgtkA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[2454],"tags":[51],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[4267],"class_list":["post-72732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-talent-education","tag-michigan-colleges-and-universities","entry"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
