University of Redlands president quits over budget cuts - IMRAN GHORI, The Press-Enterprise

The president of the University of Redlands resigned unexpectedly Tuesday, citing controversy over budget cuts that he said has generated anger and negativity. Stuart Dorsey, an economist who has headed the private liberal-arts college since June 2005, informed the college's board of trustees of his decision in the morning and then announced it to a large 4 p.m. meeting of faculty and students. His resignation comes as the college plans to cut $7 million from its budget for the next fiscal year. The university also faces declining enrollment and could possibly eliminate some faculty.
