The search for the next chancellor of the Contra Costa Community College District has resumed after a COVID-19-related pause over the summer.
Timothy Leong, a spokesman for the college district, said four candidates were ready to be interviewed in March, one month before the district delayed the chancellor search to concentrate on working to provide distance learning for the district’s 50,000 students during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those same four candidates are still under consideration, Leong said.
The four will be interviewed as prospective successors to Fred Wood, who started as district chancellor in January 2017 and left at the end of 2019 because of a family medical emergency. Since that time, Eugene Huff, the district’s executive vice chancellor of administrative services, has been serving as interim chancellor.
The initial district board interviews are scheduled for Sept. 8, all via Zoom. Each selected finalist — the district anticipates three — will sit for hour-long forums for students and staff of each of the three district colleges (and for the district office in Martinez) on Sept. 17.
Those forums will also be carried out electronically.
It is hoped the district governing board can do the final interviews, and make a tentative chancellor selection, live in the district’s board meeting room in Martinez on Sept. 22.
The district includes Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill (and a satellite campus in San Ramon), Contra Costa College in San Pablo and Los Medanos College in Pittsburg (with a satellite campus in Brentwood).
Fred Wood/ Chancellor = $335,000
Eugene Huff/ Vice Chancellor = $276,000
Susan Lamb/ DVC President = $284,000
Robert Kratochvil/ LMC President = $258,000
Katrina VanderWoude/ CCC President = $260,000
$1,413,000 every year for 5 people.
This is part of many reasons why college tuition is out of control.

@DVC student
Good information. That is a whole lot of money.
Why do these employees need such high salaries.
What do they do?
Anyone want to explain, the day in the life of…
Same as it ever was
TBH, I would rather have “DVC student ” as chancellor then any of the professional parasites they call academics.
The median salary of chancellors across the state is $312,543.
The median salary of college presidents across the state is $310,230.
All of which Contra Costa Community College Professional are less than. You should check out the salary of the public college and universities administrators across the nation. You will be surprised how affordable California community colleges are. Also FT3 reimburses your tuition. You receive your first two years free if you make grades and are a full time student.
From the headline I thought we had a missing person case. Would have been a shame to wait on Covid to search for them.
I also first thought it was a missing person – haha. Glad to hear it’s just a job opening!
let’s hope he isn’t a white racist… LOL (jk)
The backstory on the push for a new chancellor:
https://4cd-boarddysfunction.weebly.com
Defund CCCCD, at least the top heavy administration.
A new chancellor selected by a corrupt board. What can go wrong?!
Vicki Gordon and Greg Enholm need to go.
Please consider voting for Judy Walters and Fernando Sandoval. We need logical and professional members on our board, not people who retaliate when they do wrong.
Read the administrative determination letters at the site below. Unbelievable behavior from elected officials.

I took this as a missing persons headline. Hahahahah
