AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn University says its president, Steven Leath, is leaving after two years on the job. The university said in a statement Friday that Leath and the Board of Trustees’ presidential assessment working group mutually decided to part ways. The president pro tempore of the university’s board, Wayne T. Smith, said trustees are grateful to Leath “for his dedication and commitment as Auburn made strides as a world-class public university.”
Leath says he believes the university is stronger now than before he arrived. Before going to Auburn in 2017, Leath was president of Iowa State University and vice president for research and sponsored programs for the University of North Carolina System. Smith says the Auburn board will soon name an interim president.
In an update to our earlier reports, the Iowa State Patrol said Saturday, a man from Nebraska died from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident northwest of Atlantic, early Saturday morning. And, a woman from Atlantic was injured the crash.
According to the report, 2018 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 44-year old Aaron Newton, of Omaha, was traveling west on Highway 83/The Marne Road at around 2:32-a.m., when for reasons unknown, the cycle left the road on a curve and entered the west ditch until it struck a telephone pole anchor.
Newton and his passenger, 22-year old Brittney Hill, of Atlantic, were ejected from the cycle, which came to rest on its side. Neither rider was wearing a helmet. Newton died from his injuries. Hill was transported by LifeNet helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Initial reports said she was suffering from hip and leg injuries.
The Patrol says alcohol and speed were factors in the crash. Marne Fire and Rescue, Atlantic Fire & Rescue, Medivac Ambulance, Atlantic Police and Cass County Sheriff’s Deputies assisted at the scene.
The two teams that had yet to suffer a loss during the College World Series advanced to the Best of 3 Final by winning the Friday Semifinal match-ups. Michigan and Vanderbilt will square off starting on Monday and no games will need to be played on Saturday. Here’s a look at how it happened.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Michigan scored in all but one inning against a struggling Texas Tech pitching staff and beat the Red Raiders 15-3 to continue its improbable postseason run.
