HAYS, Kan. -- Dr. Mirta M. Martin notified the campus community today that she is stepping down as president of Fort Hays State University for personal reasons, effective immediately.

Mike Barnett, vice president for administration and finance, will serve as the acting president until the Kansas Board of Regents can name an interim president.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Martin for her dedication to Fort Hays State University, and we offer our best wishes in her future endeavors.
