KLAMATH FALLS OIT president stepping down Comment By Herald & News MailTribune.com By Herald & News Posted Mar. 19, 2016 at 12:01 AM By Herald & News Posted Mar. 19, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News Oregon Tech President Chris Maples will not be renewing his contract with the college next year and will step down as the leader of the Klamath Falls campus as of June 30. The Oregon Tech Board of Trustees voted Friday to accept Maples’ request to not renew his contract. As part of the discussion, the board also voted to begin seeking new leadership for the university. “Eight years as president of a university is longer than average,” Maples told the Herald and News by phone from Portland. “The time is right for the new president to work with the new board and let that board choose the next president.” Maples, 60, who earns a salary of about $210,000 as president, said that the parting was amicable and mutually agreed upon. “I’ll be looking for other opportunities,” he said. “Klamath Falls is a warm, welcoming and wonderful community and I will miss so many of the people. The students have been wonderful as well.” He and his wife, Sara Marcus, have a house in Reno, Nev. The president’s home in Klamath Falls belongs to the campus. Maples says he expects the board to appoint an interim president and then conduct a national search for a new leader.
