SBCC Moves Closer to Picking Prez

Earlier this week, the four remaining candidates vying to take the helm at Santa Barbara City College participated in a public forum and sat down privately with the college’s Board of Trustees, which is now in deliberation on the appointment. The finalists are San Diego City College President Anthony Beebe; Lake Tahoe Community College President Kindred Murillo; Melinda Nish, president of Southwestern College in Chula Vista; and Modesto Junior College President Jill Stearns. Among many topics ​— ​including financials, collective bargaining, and declining enrollment nationwide ​— ​they spoke to SBCC’s need to reconnect to its community. The board will make its decision by July 1.
