Robert E. Golden, for five years Plattsburgh State's provost and vice president for academic affairs, will resign at the end of the academic year, President John Ettling announced Friday. Golden is widely viewed by administrators and faculty as a driving force behind Plattsburgh State's recent revitalization.
"He arrived here at a difficult time in the history of the college," Ettling wrote in an E-mail sent to faculty. "In large part through his quiet, steady leadership, we have emerged from those turbulent days to recapture the vitality and optimism that make Plattsburgh State a good place to study and work."
Golden will leave his position on June 30, 2008 to become a part-time professor at PSUC's new Adirondack Community College campus in Queensbury.
Ettling said he will appoint a committee in the coming weeks to conduct a search for a replacement.
Golden leaves behind rapidly increasing application and admission rates, climbing SAT scores and stronger retention rates.
"He challenged the College community to answer a few basic questions: Who are we? What would we like to become? How do we get from here to there?" Ettling wrote.
Golden came to Plattsburgh in 2002 from Keene State College in New Hampshire, where he worked for seven years as the school's vice president for academic affairs.
He will leave a $161,462 per year post.
