University System of Maryland Board of Regents chairman James Brady has resigned from his position, he announced in a statement Thursday.
Brady’s intention to resign was first reported by the Washington Post on Thursday afternoon, shortly after the Board of Regents concluded a closed meeting in Baltimore.
This comes two days after the Board announced its recommendation to reinstate Maryland football coach DJ Durkin. University of Maryland president Wallace Loh reversed course and fired Durkin on Wednesday, reportedly without consulting the Board on the matter.
“In recent days, I have become the public face of both the board and its decisions related to these matters,” Brady said in the statement.
