Just two weeks after the start of the semester, the President of Fresno Pacific University has resigned.
In a statement released from the university, outgoing president Pete Menjares said that he and his wife will be moving back to Southern California to be closer to their families and to explore new opportunities.
In the same statement, Board Chair John Thiesen said that Menjares modeled diversity and unity in his two and a half years as university president. Menjares’ wife, Virginia, was also very active in the community and often made appearances with her husband.
The board will discuss next steps at a special meeting on September 16.
