Any speculation as to who will be interim? Surely that info will leak out before tonight.
@EllieMae
The candidates for the temporary post are all from outside the college, and were vetted by the Association of Community College Trustees, who are also checking the backgrounds of applicants for the permanent post. The interim post will likely be filled by a retired community college leader from outside Tucson.
Isn’t this a bit presumptuous on her part? The new Chancellor picks the Provost (with board approval)...or have things changed since I left?
@Bret Linden
At that point, Miles had already been appointed as the provost. Since, she’s switched her non-interim position to be president of the Community Campus, and a new provost has been appointed.
Oh, yeah, the new Provost, I forgot about Dr. Jerry Migler.
Meh, all I can tell you is that, when I was there, no one really knew what the provost was supposed to do. No disrespect to Dr. Migler since I don’t know the guy, but from the bottom looking up it looked to be an unnecessary position…and there were a few of those. Executive Assistant to the Campus President is another (I think that position might be gone now, but I’m not sure).
There were widespread and rampant rumors about what Dr. Miles’ true duties were as provost, but I’ll keep those to myself. Anyone who worked in PCC knows what I’m talking about…it was the worst-kept secret there.
Wow, well, I am pleased that I was wrong. I was certain that Fugett or some other flavor of Miles would be put in. This move shows me that maybe PCC is indeed serious about cleaning up their own house.
To Chancellor Harris I wish the best of luck. She’s gonna need it.
