Cale Stepping Down as North Alabama President

The president of the University of North Alabama is stepping aside.

William Cale is exiting the position on Monday. He announced his retirement in March.

A search committee and consultants are searching for a replacement. The TimesDaily reports Cale will remain as president emeritus through December to aid with the transition.

The university in northwestern Alabama has added seven graduate degree programs, five baccalaureate and two program-track concentrations during Cale’s decade-long tenure.

A writing center and university success center were also born during Cale’s time at North Alabama, and two new campus buildings were added.
