College of New Rochelle Closing: President William Latimer Gets Job With Mercy

The president of the College of New Rochelle (NY) landed a job with the college that’s taking on most of its former students and renting its main campus.  William Latimer, the 14th and final College of New Rochelle president, will join Mercy College as vice president of its New Rochelle and Bronx locations.  Mercy announced the move Monday, two days after the last day of classes in CNR’s 115-year history. Mercy is leasing CNR’s main campus in New Rochelle for up to two years, at $1.8 million a year, and it says nearly 1,700 students from CNR are becoming Mercy students this fall.
