Rick E. Amidon, president of Baker College of Muskegon, part of a multicampus system in Michigan, is the latest in a series of college presidents to exit office after being accused of driving drunk.

Mr. Amidon, who is 49, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with driving under the influence of a combination of alcohol and a controlled substance, The Muskegon Chronicle reported. The police said Mr. Amidon was “crossing the center line and weaving, and had run another vehicle off the road.” He resigned on Saturday.

According to the newspaper, Mr. Amidon, the college’s president since 1995, had been on medical leave for the past three months. His absence followed a police investigation of a harassment complaint against him, although no charges were filed over those allegations.

Other college presidents who recently faced drunken-driving accusations include the leaders of A.T. Still University, Davenport University, the University of Evansville, and the University of Mary Washington. —Paul Fain
