The word is out that Clackamas needs a new college president. The Board of Education sent out a vacancy announcement last week, after the board meeting on Feb. 14. At the meeting, they approved the list of qualifications and qual ities that a possible candidate for the job must possess. The list was compiled by Presidential Search Consultant Jon Carnahan, who led a series of forums to determine what the college is looking for and needs in an administrative head. The board will select members for a screening committee at a board meeting on March 14. The screening committee will consist of a number of commu nity members, faculty and board members. Their job will be to read through all the applications the college receives and compile a ranked list of the candidates to present to the board. According to Board Member Chuck Clemans, the board is currently “getting names for the committee.” The subject of the committee was a source of long discussion. Dave Arter, faculty president, voiced a concern that there were not enough faculty present on the proposed committee list. The list was revised during the course of the meeting to include more fac ulty members. Also approved was the presidential search calendar. According to the approved calen dar, the closing date for candidate applications is April 6.
