Life University hopes to announce new president by beginning of summer session

MARIETTA - A day after the president of Life University resigned, the school&#39;s attorney says they hope to make an announcement by Monday, when the summer session begins, about the appointment of an interim president. <br> <br> Attorney Frank Strickland told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday that details of Doctor Sid Williams&#39; departure were being negotiated Wednesday as a meeting of trustees concluded for a second day on an expected change in leadership. <br> <br> Doctor James Sigafoose said that the university&#39;s board of trustees urged Williams and his family, including his daughter and his wife, to leave their position. <br> <br> Wednesday, the Atlanta newspaper reported that Williams was moving out of the executive suite he has occupied at the school and into the chancellor&#39;s office. Reached in Florida by The Associated Press, Williams confirmed the move but would not say if he had resigned. <br> <br> The details of his departure, including whether Williams returns as chancellor, have yet to be determined. <br> <br> On June 10, the Council on Chiropractic Education revoked the school&#39;s accreditation and cited four problem areas, including the number and stability of faculty in the university&#39;s public clinics and the school&#39;s planning and assessment efforts. University officials have said they will appeal before the July 10th deadline. <br> <br> The university produces more chiropractic candidates than any other school in the country. The school currently has about 2,600 chiropractic students and 700 students in other degree programs.
