The Chair of Cabrini’s Board of Trustees will be resigning after the end of his term.
The resignation of Thomas P. Nerney ’77 will be effective June 30, 2015 after serving for three years.
Nerney’s decision was announced in an email sent to faculty and staff on Friday, April 17, by President Taylor.
According to the email, Nerney has decided to resign so he can “turn his attention to his many other commitments.”
Nerney’s address to the Board of Trustees was quoted in Taylor’s email saying, “With Cabinet and Trustees’ guidance, Cabrini is well positioned to confront the challenges in higher education and stay committed and true to our mission of educating the hearts and minds of the next generation.”
“The college by-laws call for the trusteeship committee of the board to oversee the election process for a new chair,” Taylor, in a separate email to Loquitur, said.
According to Taylor’s email to faculty and staff, regardless of his resignation from the Board, Nerney will “continue to remain Cabrini’s biggest advocate in the community and will participate in the college’s life as an alumnus.”
Work to elect a new Chair of the Board of Trustees began this week.
