Shea, 48, former president of the Roman Catholic College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, was hired as chancellor last summer. A white-haired scholar of 19th and 20th century literature, Shea was appalled at what he found when he unpacked his bags in Yellow Springs: "The entire administration has levitated out of sight, departed, or become otherwise incapacitated...
