Florida State's President About to Retire
T.K. Wetherell, Florida State University’s president, will tell the Board of Trustees this week of his impending resignation, according to two university officials who spoke with the Associated Press.
Mr. Wetherell, who became president in 2003, was the first alumnus of Florida State to hold the job. He received bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from the university.
His retirement comes at a difficult time for Florida State, which on Friday is scheduled to consider more than $56-million in budget cuts over the next three years.
Mr. Wetherell served in Florida’s House of Representatives from 1980 to 1992, before becoming president of Tallahassee Community College, in 1995. —Marc Beja
