The president of Whittier College announced her resignation Friday amid financial troubles, plunging enrollment and criticism of her performance at one of California's oldest liberal arts institutions. Linda Oubré, who took the helm five years ago, did not address the controversies in her resignation email, sent to the campus community. She said it was the "right time" to step down. "My five years as President of Whittier College will be ones that I will look back on with pride," she wrote.
