University of Southern Maine president leaving - ALANNA DURKIN, Associated Press

The interim president of the University of Southern Maine, who grappled with budget problems during her two-year tenure, will step down this month, the state university system said Tuesday. Theo Kalikow will step down July 18 and become acting vice chancellor of the seven-school University of Maine System through the end of her contract next year, Chancellor James Page said. Page said in a statement that Kalikow led the school with determination and grace, but it's time for a new leader to take on the fiscal issues and other tasks that the Portland university faces. http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/University-of-Southern-Maine-president-leaves-post-5607016.php
