(INDIANAPOLIS) - Ivy Tech Community College President Tom Snyder is planning to retire next year after leading the statewide system since 2007.
The college's Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a transition contract for the 72-year-old Snyder. School officials plan to start a search this fall for a replacement to head up the 90,000-student system.
Ivy Tech board Chairwoman Paula Hughes tells WFYI-FM that Snyder has been a tremendous force for good in leading the school.
Snyder was president of Anderson-based Remy International Inc. before becoming Ivy Tech's top administrator two years after it took over running the state's community college program at more than 30 campuses.
Ivy Tech has faced questions over low graduation rates, which Snyder has blamed on the school having mostly part-time students.
