Dr. Sid Williams Steps Down

Editorial Staff

After several meetings and conference calls by the Life University Board of Trustees, Life's founder and president, Dr. Sid Williams, has reportedly stepped down. Evidence suggests that his wife, Dr. Nell Williams (senior vice president and dean of student affairs), and his daughter, Dr. Kim Williams, an administrative assistant, have also resigned. Dr. Williams originally announced he would retire in March 2003, after a search for a new president was completed.

The board of trustees is expected to soon appoint an interim president. The primary task facing the new president will be to address Life's loss of CCE accreditation. Among Life's options are a formal appeal of the loss of accreditation (the deadline is July 10, 2002), and a "teach out" of the Life chiropractic students by another accredited chiropractic college.

Amazon recently announced a service that allows existing Amazon Prime members to purchase its One Medical service for only $99 per year or $9 per month. Up to five family members can be added for an additional $6 per month or $66 annually per person. This is yet another step in Amazon’s ambitious effort to get its share of the health care market.
