Three finalists seeking to become the new superintendent-president at Taft College will be interviewed by the district Board of Trustees early next month.
At its monthly meeting last week the board met in closed session to formulate the questions it will ask when it interviews each of the finalists on Feb. 3.
Interim Supt./Pres. Dick Giese said 25 applied for the job that was vacated last spring by Willy Duncan, who became chancellor of the Sierra Community College District.
“After the applications were screened, 14 were qualified,” Giese said.
The field was whittled to 11, then nine after two withdrew, and finally to three for the board to consider.
A campus-wide committee representing all stakeholders, including the public, was charged with narrowing the field to the final three.
Campus officials are holding their breaths. There are currently 25 presidential vacancies among California community colleges.
TC also lost another key administrator about the same time Duncan resigned.
Vice President of Instruction Henry Yong stepped down to accept the presidency at Evergreen Valley College.
Giese said that vacancy is currently being advertised.
“It closes early February,” he said, “so the new CEO will have an opportunity to make that decision.”
