BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s board of trustees will have a new look when it meets today for the first time since it voted to fire the school’s president.

Gov. Mitt Romney, following through on promises to overhaul the board after the decision to fire Adm. Richard Gurnon was reversed by the state Board of Higher Education, replaced two members on Monday.

Marine Corps Reserve Col. William Sinnott and retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jimmy Dishner were appointed to five-year terms on the state-funded college’s board, replacing Joaquim Nobrega and Paul McNally, who had been serving on the board even though their terms had expired.

Two other trustees, John Linnon and Paul Tierney, already have said they will resign, although it’s unclear whether they will attend a scheduled meeting of the 11-member board on Tuesday. A school spokesman did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press on Monday.

The board could have six new members by next summer. The terms of two trustees, including Tierney, expire in March, and the student trustee’s term expires in June.

Trustees are expected on Tuesday to vote on a motion to formally reinstate Gurnon as president of the military-style school that trains students for maritime careers, said Eileen O’Connor, spokeswoman for the higher education board.
