Southwestern Ill. college reappoints president
GODFREY, Ill. -- A southwestern Illinois college has reappointed a president who resigned months ago over personal finances.
The board of Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey said Wednesday that Dale Chapman will return to the post Monday.
Chapman had been the college's president from 1992 until the end of May. That's when he stepped down, saying he needed to access his retirement fund so he could settle federal taxes and property-related debts.
The school and Chapman left open the possibility of his return after his issues were resolved.
The board credits Chapman's tenure with quadrupling the college's enrollment to 13,500 students and overseeing more than $123 million on capital projects.
