The trustees voted in January not to renew Wilson’s contract when it ends in June. The former president drew mixed reactions from faculty, students, and alumni. Some didn’t like his decision to cut 150 staff members in an attempt to balance the budget. Others credited Wilson with increasing fundraising and boosting enrollment.
