The principal and chief executive of UHI Perth has resigned from her post at the college.
Dr Margaret Cook, who held the role for eight years, faced calls to step down following "extreme" financial challenges at the institution.
UHI Perth told BBC Scotland News earlier this month it was operating within an increasingly challenging financial environment due to rising costs.
The college is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) network of colleges, specialist teaching centres and research institutes.
It has about 7,000 students and about 500 teaching and support staff.
Dr Cook had been urged by the GMB union and local MP Pete Wishart to make way for a new leadership.
Announcing her resignation, Dr Cook offered "sincere thanks" to college staff for their hard work and dedication to students.
