Linfield University President Miles Davis to Step Down Over Family Concerns

The president of Linfield University (OR), Miles Davis, is resigning, citing family health concerns. Davis notified the university’s board of trustees of his decision in a special afternoon meeting Thursday. Davis is not leaving immediately, but said he plans to remain as Linfield’s leader until early 2024, after a transition period for an interim president has been completed. Davis had been serving as the 20th president of Linfield University since 2018. He was the school’s first Black president.
