In July, the Board of Trustees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/decision-to-reboot-presidential-search-angers-community-the-heart-and-soul-of-the-college-has-been-ripped-apart-today\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">voted to reboot<\/span><\/a> their five-month presidential search citing the need to expand the candidate pool. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padr\u00f3n could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc.edu\/about\/leadership\/trustees.aspx\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Board of Trustees<\/span><\/a> is scheduled to meet on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 9 a.m. at Wolfson Campus to discuss the next step in the presidential selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s in his right. After 50 years of service, this is the day he was leaving,\u201d said Board Chairman Bernie Navarro in his first interview since the July 24 meeting. \u201cThe decision lies on the board to make a decision to move forward. He\u2019s not going to be part of it on Thursday and we need to figure out what the next steps are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decision forces the Board to select an interim president\u2014should they not select a permanent one by Friday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s very odd to think of Padr\u00f3n as an outside when it comes to anything at MDC, but it&#8217;s not his purview to select the next president,\u201d said United Faculty of Miami Dade College President Elizabeth Ramsay. \u201cThat is for the Board to do. He gave almost 50 years of his professional life to the College. He deserves to retire.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not everyone views Padr\u00f3n\u2019s departure as a bad thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Board member Marcell Felipe, after this story was published, sent a strongly-worded email to <em>The Reporter<\/em> lambasting Padr\u00f3n\u2019s influence in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlthough his allies have attacked my integrity and that of the new Board, and although he has allowed and I think encouraged them to do so, this and what I believe was his mishandling of the Presidential Selection Process should not detract from his years of service to MDC,\u201d Felipe wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also out: Diversified Search, the firm hired by MDC to find a new president. The College paid the headhunting firm more than $167,000 over the course of four months for direct and indirect expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a source familiar with the process, the group chose to not continue its relationship with the College, believing their work concluded once the Board closed the initial process and didn\u2019t select a candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Bileca, one of the trustees who questioned the broadness of the pool search during the July 24 meeting, believes moving on from Diversified Search makes sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think we need a fresh set of eyes and a fresh set of voices in the higher education community,\u201d Bileca said on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It begs the question: will Thursday\u2019s Board meeting result in a new president\u2014or a new process?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustees can choose to vote on one of the original four finalists<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paul Broadie II, Divina Grossman, Lenore Rodicio or Reagan Romali<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who, with a majority vote, will then become president.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, only one of those candidates has publicly expressed interest in remaining\u2014Rodicio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to whether they would still have interest in the position, Grossman declined to comment due to familial issues while Romali and Broadie did not respond to requests from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reporter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a new president is not selected on Thursday, the Board is responsible for choosing an interim president until the vacancy is filled. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padr\u00f3n <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">does not have a say in who would fill that role, according to Navarro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Board has never indicated that it may or would consider voting for a President this Thursday. Its [sic] not something on the agenda,\u201d Felipe wrote. \u201cThe option of selecting an interim President was discussed at the last meeting as one possible agenda item for this Thursday and may well be discussed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BOT would then select a new set of standards and qualifications for candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the end, the goal is a simple goal: get the very best qualified person we can for the College,\u201d Bileca said. \u201cWe have to get it right and ensure we feel comfortable that we\u2019ve had a good, wide variety of candidates before narrowing it down and picking the right one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bileca also stressed that the new search shouldn\u2019t take as long as the first one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t believe it has to be a long, drawn out process,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Others disagree. Navarro believes that a new search must be as extensive as the first and could take as long as the initial process\u2014up to seven months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAny search will take that amount of time,\u201d Navarro said. \u201cThere\u2019s a process. It can\u2019t be a simple process, When there\u2019s a search, there\u2019s a process for a search. We have to adhere to everything we need to pick the next president.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alumni, faculty and students of the College have protested the discarded search, urging that the Board should remain transparent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many swarmed the streets in opposition on Aug. 24 during an 18-mile \u201crat race\u201d car caravan across Miami as part of SOS Miami Dade College, a grassroots campaign organized by UFMDC. The trek began at Kendall Campus and ended as the caravan circled around the Freedom Tower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a letter on Aug. 2 to the BOT, The MDC Foundation Board of Directors warned that the uncertain process places the College in danger of losing long-time private donations, a backbone of the state-funded institution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe critical role and stellar reputation of MDC cannot be compromised, nor can the need for transparency and adherence to due process,\u201d the letter read. \u201cThe interests of the hundreds of thousands of students, faculty, alumni and stakeholders who make up the fabric of this treasured institution must be respected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This past Saturday, Roberto Martinez, former Board Chairman and search committee member, sent a letter to the Board, urging the BOT to select a candidate from the original pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it\u2019s a disaster that we are in this situation,\u201d said Provost Emeritus Kathie Sigler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Added <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mark Richard, former paralegal professor at the College and UFMDC attorney: \u201cBuckle-up, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen Thursday.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Heidi Perez-Moreno contributed to this story.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eduardo J.
