PORTLAND, Maine — Former independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler has resigned from his job aimed at helping get a new graduate center off the ground in southern Maine.
George Campbell, president of the University of Southern Maine Foundation, will be the interim CEO of the new graduate center at the University of Southern Maine.
The center was created to bring together graduate law, business and public service programs under one roof. Cutler said he reached his goals of creating a business plan and getting the center on sound financial footing, and that it’s now time to move on.
In a letter dated Thursday, Cutler said he intended "to remain engaged, involved and supportive" as work on the center continues.
