Glendon Forgey resigns from TVCC
Dr. Glendon Forgey’s run as president of Trinity Valley Community College is over.
The college issued a press release Wednesday saying that Forgey tendered his resignation. The move brings to a close recent conflict between the president and the college board that led to Forgey’s suspension last month.
According to the TVCC press release, “The Board has accepted Dr. Forgey’s resignation and agrees with his view that it is in the best interests of the students and employees of TVCC for new leadership to be put in place as soon as practical, given his immediate desire to pursue other opportunities. Against the backdrop of the ongoing and heightened success of TVCC throughout his many years of steadfast leadership, the Board thanks Dr. Forgey for his devoted service and wishes him well.”
Wednesday’s press release did not mention how the board will go about selecting a new president. Dr. Jerry King was named temporary president on Monday, May 2.
King selected to lead TVCC while Forgey suspended
Dr. Jerry King was named President Pro Tem (temporary president) of Trinity Valley Community College Monday night, according to a college press release. Dr. King is a long time employee and Vice President of Instruction.
The move came after a special called meeting of the board Monday night.
The board suspended President Glendon Forgey with pay last week. Board President Ray Raymond told the Athens Daily Review the suspension came after the board was presented “conflicting governmental documents by the college president without acceptable explanation.”
According to Monday’s announcement, the college will post more details on its website Tuesday.

I am passionate about TVCC and excited about the opportunity to pursue excellence together.”
King has been with HCJC/TVCC since 1975, serving as a business/economics professor, Dean of Workforce Education, Associate Vice President of Workforce Education/Business Affairs and since 2008, Vice President of Instruction and Chief Instructional Officer.
He also served as Mayor of Athens from 1995-2005 and Board Vice-Chairman of Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative from 2008-2012, President of Athens Noon Kiwanis Club, Vice President of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Henderson County United Way, President of East Texas Economic Development and East Texas Tech-Prep Consortium.
