ST. CLOUD. Minn. — The president of St. Cloud State University, Robbyn Wacker, resigned suddenly and said it was her last day. Wacker, age 67, had been scheduled to retire this summer. Her decision came on the eve of new budget cuts with expected faculty layoffs. Among Wacker’s controversies has been hiring a Texas-based for-profit company, Academic Partnerships, to provide online classes.
