Turner requests clarification in TSH coverage of West Alabama Health Sciences campus

In last week’s edition of the Times-Standard-Herald, dated Thursday, April 17, our story headlined “Effort to temporarily house Ala. Healthcare Sciences academy at former Judson campus fails” contained a quote from the Facebook page of Perry County Commission Chairman Albert Turner, Jr.

The newspaper’s story read, “In his post, Turner also criticized Marion Military Institute, claiming the school “treat[s] their cadets like prisoners” by restricting them from entering the city.”

Turner said that in the portion of the post the story quoted, he was himself paraphrasing the proponents of temporarily locating the Academy’s campus at the University of West Alabama instead of Judson College, and not expressing that sentiment himself.
