LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The process to hire a new chancellor of the Yuba Community College District is underway.
The district, which includes Woodland Community College and its Lake County campus in Clearlake, is seeking a permanent chancellor to succeed Dr. Douglas B. Houston, who left the college last year.
Since July 1, 2021, Dr. James L.J. Houpis has served as interim chancellor.
Documents for the district board’s meeting last Thursday, Nov. 10, explained that the governing board approved the chancellor’s job announcement at its July 14 meeting.
It was developed based on a districtwide survey conducted in September 2021.
At the board’s meeting last week, board Vice President Juan Delgado reported that the search committee met again recently to review applicants.
The committee will meet again to review the first round of applicants on Dec. 5, he said. At that point, committee members also will review potential questions in order to prepare for the interviews.
Delgado said the search committee will begin reviewing applications at the end of January.
The district is accepting applications until Jan. 16. The initial screening of applicants will take place on Jan. 20.
At staff’s suggestion, the board approved the revised chancellor job announcement as presented with a unanimous vote.
More information is available on the chancellor’s search page.
