Edison State College president says he will accelerate his succession

Barbara Cox, a first-year education student at Edison State College in Fort Myers, clasps her hands as school president Dr. Kenneth Walker announces he will accelerate his succession plan during a board of trustees meeting on the Fort Myers campus on Friday morning. After suffering a vote of no-confidence from faculty last spring, and last month's faculty senate meeting that called for his immediate resignation, Walker told a packed room he will accelerate his succession plan, which he will discuss further at the next board meeting scheduled for November 22. 'I was hoping he was resigning,' Cox said after the meeting. 'But it's better than nothing.' Tristan Spinski/Staff
