The board was divided over which candidate to appoint for the vacant seat. Wolf didn’t survive an initial vote. It then took three more ballots for the board to reach a majority of votes for Drummond.
In the final vote, the trustees voted 5-1 to appoint Drummond to the board, with Gerald Lee Cross Jr. casting the dissenting vote.
— Terry Calaway, 57, retired in August after six years as president of Johnson County Community College in Kansas, a school of 60,000 students. He grew enrollment by 8 percent and coordinated academics with four-year universities. His 36-year career in academia includes four as president of Central Arizona College.
In 2011, the college expelled four nursing students who posted photos on Facebook showing them working with placenta. A court ordered reinstatement of a student who sued.
Calaway holds a doctorate in education administration from the University of Texas at Austin.
