By Kathryn Reed

Sue Niehoff, vice president of Business Services at Lake Tahoe Community College, submitted her resignation Thursday.

Niehoff has been the subject of several board meetings this calendar year.

She was not immediately available for comment Friday.

Board President Fritz Wenck told Lake Tahoe News that at the April 26 meeting his group is expected to accept her resignation. He said her resignation is effective June 30.

“We are in the process of hiring a new superintendent/president. We may put in some sort of interim structure and let him come on board to make the final decision (about that position),” Wenck said.

The South Lake Tahoe college is expected to make a decision on the next president in May.

Interim President Steve Maradian did not want to speak to Niehoff’s resignation even though he is her supervisor.

“I’m not sure why this is such big news … why someone can’t come and go,” Maradian said.

His contention is the bigger news is the college is not laying off large numbers of people, unlike what is happening elsewhere in state.

Maradian did say the item in closed session on the April 12 agenda that involved a personnel issue was not related to Niehoff. No action was taken on that item.
