Developing Story: Northern Seminary President Not Installed

Joy Moore, who was named president of Northern Seminary less than a year ago, was not installed as planned last Friday.

The decision was reportedly made by the school's trustees after a series of meetings.

A fundraising dinner was held as planned on Thursday night.
An announcement was made at the end of the dinner that Moore would not be installed as president.

Moore had decided she was not a good fit for the role as currently structured.

A news release with this explanation was posted on the seminary website but was taken down by Sunday.
