Community college suspends president

? The Coffeyville Community College Board of Trustees is offering no explanation for suspending the school’s president.

Don Woodburn has been the president of the southeast Kansas school since August 2004, and his contract runs until June 30, 2011. Trustees had voted without comment in May against extending Woodburn’s contract for another year.

The Independence Daily Reporter said trustees made the decision to suspend him Monday. The 3-2 vote came after the board went into executive session to discuss what they said would be non-elected personnel.

Trustees also voted to appoint executive vice president Linda Moley as acting president.

Woodburn said outside the meeting that he would move onto another challenge.
