In the Latest College President Turnover, Rust College’s Ivy Taylor Is Out

The wave of presidential turnover at Mississippi’s institutions of higher learning has come to Rust College. The state’s oldest historically Black college in Holly Springs announced in a press release Wednesday that Ivy Taylor, who was appointed in June 2020, has left. Though Taylor gave an interview to a local paper last week announcing she was leaving, it’s unclear if she stepped down or was fired; the press release does not say. Her last day was May 6.
