Two top execs leaving Freedom Center

Associated Press - June 22, 2007 3:45 AM ET

CINCINNATI (AP) - Two top executives are leaving the National Underground Railroad Freedom
Center in Cincinnati.

The center announced yesterday that president Spencer Crew is leaving for an endowed faculty
position at George Mason University in Virginia. Love Collins the Third, executive vice president
of advancement, is leaving for a fund-raising job at Benedict College in South Carolina.

Freedom Center officials haven't decided how to replace the high-paid executives, whose salaries
were questioned amid the museum's financial problems.

The Freedom Center opened in August 2004 and lost more than five million dollars in its first 18
months, leading to layoffs.

A museum spokesman says the executives' professional standing justified their salaries.
