<p>I am a freshman parent - my D just told me. I don't know what to think!!! </p>

<p>The info is on the website as well (<a href="http://www.oxy.edu)%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.oxy.edu)&lt;/a>. </p>

<p>"After extensive discussions with the leadership of the Board of Trustees, Susan Prager today announced her decision to resign as president of Occidental College. Citing the long-term interests of the college, Prager will step down effective Dec. 31. She will take up her tenured appointment as a professor of history in January 2009."</p>

<p>Anyone know what this really means? Was there trouble between Prager and the board? Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Here is the LA Times article on it. Hope it helps. The time frame for a new president is July 2009 (about the time my son would enter)</p>
