In response, the President has agreed to remain and help shepherd the institution through the upcoming difficult period.

“The Board felt strongly that the looming economic and budget crisis has changed the outlook for the College. It is our collective judgment that the College community is best served by keeping our management team in place with President Schatzberg at the helm,” stated Board Chairman Robert Mills. “ We are gratified that President Schatzberg has agreed to stay on.”

In response President Schatzberg stated, “I sincerely thank the Board for their confidence in me, and I look forward to continuing my long and positive relationship with the College.”

That's great news for the college and the Cape. It suggests that her reasons for announcing her retirement included a sense of disappointment with the board that has now been removed. Maybe they had started to take her for granted.
