Mount St. Mary's Hires Interim Chief as President

Mount St. Mary’s University has hired Timothy Trainor as its president. Trainor, who has been the Maryland university's interim president for the last year, is a retired brigadier general in the U.S. Army who previously was the chief academic officer for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Mount St. Mary’s was rocked by months of controversy in 2016 over Trainor's predecessor, Simon Newman, who resigned last March.
