Burnett and Cabrillo

     [See UPDATE.] Some have been asking whether Cabrillo College has decided on who shall be its new President, an open office for which Saddleback College’s Tod Burnett is a finalist.
     According to last Wednesday’s Santa Cruz Sentinal,
     The name of the next Cabrillo College president will likely be announced by the end of the week, said interim president John Hendrickson.
     "We're reviewing the finalist's qualifications and background," Hendrickson said at a College Planning Council meeting on Wednesday. "I'm hopeful that by the end of this week, we can say the name out loud."
     The future leader will be selected from finalists Tod Burnett, Laurel Jones, Pamela Walker, Farley Herzek and Marie-Elaine Burns. The five candidates spoke at forums held on the community college's Watsonville and Aptos campuses last week.
     Well, no announcement has been made.
     I sought information on the Cabrillo College/District Website, but that got me nowhere, though I did find a 2013 Cabrillo College President Search Committee Website. That has a chronological list of “Board Actions” relative to the search. The list ends with three dates:
May 6, 2013 Governing Board meeting
  • Search Committee Status Report to Governing Board
  • Special Board meeting to Interview Candidate 
June 3, 2013 Governing Board meeting
  • Designate Site Visit Committee 
July 8, 2013 Governing Board meeting
  • Appoint new Cabrillo College president
     So it appears that the Cabrillo board met yesterday. If they’ve made a decision, they’ve been pretty quiet about it. (See Cabrillo press releases.)
