HANCOCK, MI (AP)— The president of Finlandia University is leaving.
Philip Johnson says he’s resigning as head of the Hancock school at the end of 2021-22 school year. He didn’t give a reason.
Johnson has been criticized by faculty members, who approved a “no-confidence” vote in June. In response, the school's governing board said attracting more students was a “top priority.”
Finlandia was known as Suomi College when it opened in 1896. The liberal arts school is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.
