GALESBURG, ILL. (AP) -- The president of a western Illinois college says he'll step down.
Knox College President Roger Taylor tells WGIL Radio he wants to spend more time with his family.
He adds that the Galesburg-based school will soon start planning for its next 10 years and so it's a good time to start thinking about new leadership.
It's not clear when Taylor might actually leave. But a formal announcement about his plans to resign is expected Tuesday.
He says he told the board of trustees, faculty, staff and students about his intentions on Monday.
Taylor graduated from Knox College in 1963. He retired from a Chicago law firm in 1999 and became the school's permenant president in 2002.
