   FRANKLIN, Ind. – Franklin College fired its president following   
   a sex crime-related arrest in Wisconsin.   
      
   According to officials at Franklin College, President Thomas J.   
   Minar was taken into custody in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, for   
   “use of a computer to facilitate a sex crime, child enticement   
   and exposing a child to harmful materials.”   
      
   He was released from custody on bond and forbidden to have   
   direct contact with minors unless supervised. He was also told   
   to stay off social media, the college said.   
      
   Franklin’s Board of Trustees Executive Committee immediately   
   severed ties between Minar and the school.   
      
   “The Franklin College Board of Trustees is stunned by this   
   event,” the college wrote in a statement. “This is the first   
   such incident the Board has been made aware of regarding Dr.   
   Minar, and the Board is fully committed to cooperating fully   
   with Wisconsin authorities and working to ensure the safety of   
   our campus community.”   
      
   The school has launched its own investigation into Minar’s   
   conduct while he was president.   
      
   “I think it’s appropriate to just kind of know a little more,”   
   said Franklin College student Maya McCloud. “And also in the   
   emails, I know they have been talking about contacting the   
   school if you need mental help with this.”   
      
   McCloud admitted that this news was shocking to her.   
      
   “Everybody was freaking out, and so like I just didn’t even know   
   how to take that information,” said McCloud.   
      
   However, student Peighton Zebrowski said she is sad to say this   
   wasn’t a surprise for her. She didn’t suspect it based on the   
   president’s behavior, she just says she expects these things to   
   happen because they happen frequently around the world and home.   
      
   “It happened at my high school, so like, hearing those things,   
   it doesn’t really come to surprise,” said Zebrowski. “It makes   
   me sad and scared for like the future when I have kids, if it   
   will be the same or it will get worse?”   
      
   Both students said it is a tradition to visit the home of the   
   president of Franklin College. The president usually hosts some   
   kind of event, like an ice cream social. Zebrowski and McCloud   
   say they went last year. Neither one of them noticed anything   
   out of the ordinary from Minar at that visit.   
      
   “He seemed like a pretty chill guy,” said Zebrowski.   
      
   Franklin College Board of Trustees Chair Jim Due said released   
   the following statement:   
      
   The safety of our campus community – especially our students –   
   is always our first priority. We are deeply shocked and gravely   
   concerned by the reported behavior of Dr. Minar that led to his   
   arrest in Wisconsin, and we will continue to cooperate fully   
   with authorities. As in other times of difficulty during the   
   college’s 186-year history, our community will come together in   
   support of one another as we continue to educate the innovative   
   leaders of our future.   
      
   Minar announced last June that he planned to step down as   
   president in June of 2020, and a search had been underway for a   
   replacement. He’s served as college president since 2015 and was   
   the college’s 16th president.   
      
   Lori Schroeder, provost and dean of the college, will serve as   
   interim president until the board appoints an acting president   
   as it looks for a permanent replacement.
