University of La Verne President Pardis Mahdavi stepped down unexpectedly after 10 months at the private college.

University of La Verne President Pardis Mahdavi, the second woman in history to hold the school's top job, stepped down this month after less than a year at the private college. In an email to the campus on Friday, Mahdavi cited 'personal reasons' for her sudden departure.

' Alvarez said Lieberman, the former president, was given a one-year contract to advise Mahdavi, which made some faculty feel like Mahdavi wasn't being 'given the rein to do what she needed.' 'There's not a faculty member that I've talked to that got to know her in any capacity that isn't disappointed in the sense that we let somebody who could have made some big changes get away,' Alvarez said.
