KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Knoxville College trustees have fired the president who they hired just three months ago and who had replaced another president on the job for less than a month.
The historically black college is in substantial debt and is dealing with more than a dozen shuttered buildings and an enrollment of only about 20 students.
James Reese, chairman of the board of trustees, told the Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1I3UTHG) the college terminated President James Savage on Jan. 23. Reese said the separation was amicable but declined to name specific reasons for the move.
Reese said a new management team is in place. It is led by Jane Redmond, a graduate of the college and former associate chancellor of the University of Tennessee.
