Why is the Rancho Santiago College District spending $57K to find a new Chancellor?

The Rancho Santiago Community College Trustees want to spend $57K to find their next Chancellor

(From left to right): Clerk Brian E. Conley, M.A.; John R. Hanna; Mark McLoughlin; Lisa Woolery, APR, M.A.; President R. David Chapel, Ed.D.; Phillip E. Yarbrough; Vice President Lawrence R. “Larry” Labrado and Student Trustee Gloria Holguin.

The Rancho Santiago Community College District’s Board of Trustees is selecting an executive search firm to assist in the recruitment and selection process of a new chancellor.

The outrageous part is that they are planning to spend over $57,000 to find a new chancellor and it seems that the district has forgotten their own budget crisis.

This is why  several area activists are mobilizing and standing against such wasteful spending. Not only would the district be saving $57,000 by not seeking a hiring committee, but by having a interim chancellor it can potentially save the salary of the chancellor which is $315,000 a year.

A group of students plans to protest this waste of money on Nov. 16, which is this coming Monday, at 4:30 pm.  They will meet at the RSCCD headquarters, located at 2323 N. Broadway, in Santa Ana.  For more information contact Alex Flores at aflores18@gmail.com or by calling 714-564-6208.

  • If the college Board has solicited proposals for a head hunter they are to be commended. So often government entities seem to just pick someone in that business, often a retired highly paid public servant who has become a "consulant", and hand them the contract. Sounds to me like the College Board is on the right track.

  • How is it that a chancellor earns more than the Govenor? Maybe all the hired help should earn more than thier bosses. *L*
