The Maricopa Community College District Governing Board voted for Linda Thor (right) to replace Laurin Hendrix (left).

The Maricopa Community College District Governing Board has a new president, despite the former president having six months left on his term.

Linda Thor was elected Tuesday evening. This comes after a rocky year for the community college system which included problems with employee pay and vandalism of the former president’s home.

To tell us more about this unexpected move, the Arizona Republic’s Anne Ryman joined The Show.
