Downey will take over the chores of the vice-presidency following the resignation of Dr. Paul Parnell, who has been the vice-president since 2008. No reason for Parnell's resignation was given, but his contract was not renewed by the Board a few months ago.
"We all appreciated his (Parnell) humor and easy-going style," Martinez said via email.
Parnell resigned effective Dec. 14 and Downey took over the position on Dec. 15. She will stay as acting until an interim vice-president can be hired.
Martinez said that the interim position will begin processing in February and he or she will serve the college during the search for a permanent replacement.
Downey will continue her duties as Dean of Arts while being the acting vice-president.
