State College of Florida trustees named a temporary interim president and voted on the process to hire a permanent president Tuesday at the first board meeting after the departure of former president Lars Hafner.

New trustee Eric Robinson recommended that the school’s vice president of business and administrative services, Carol Probstfeld, become interim president, in light of current acting president Jack Crocker’s imminent departure from the school. Crocker announced to staff that he would be resigning effective in January shortly before Hafner left the school with a $363,000 severance package Oct. 30.
