Members of the board of trustees at Roxbury Community College said at their public meeting Tuesday that school funding could be in jeopardy if embattled college president Terrence A. Gomes remains in the post he has held since 2003.

However, the trustees took no action on Gomes’s employment status and adjourned their meeting at about 10 p.m., after going into a closed executive session to discuss possible litigation against the school. They did not provide details of the potential legal action.
