Michael Bileca and Anay Abraham were elected as Board representatives during a unanimous vote, with Nicole Washington as chair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chairman Bernie Navarro opted not to be part of the new search committee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it&#8217;s time for a new group of individuals to serve on the [committee],\u201d Navarro said. \u201cIn terms of my work, I\u2019m busier than ever and really, last time, I dedicated a lot of time to this and my work, right now, it\u2019s a different time frame for me as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interim President Rolando Montoya also preferred not to partake in the search committee because of his connection to Vice Provost Lenore Rodicio, whom he hired and has indicated as his preferred candidate. Rodicio is a finalist in the second presidential search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt will be extremely difficult to maintain a neutral opinion,\u201d Montoya said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Board members will send their recommendations for potential search committee members to Interim President Rolando Montoya, who will present his findings at the next BOT meeting on Dec. 17.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The much discussed candidate profile, including minimum educational and career requirements, will also be decided at the meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the committee wants to see the best person to lead this institution,\u201d Navarro said. \u201cWe have eight campuses and over a hundred thousand students. It\u2019s not for everybody. Not any traditional candidate can be president of this institution.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The previous search had 17 members with Navarro serving as the only Board representative. The previous committee included: one Board member, administrator, student, former Board chair, MDC Foundation representative, alum, retiree and staffer as well as three faculty members and six community leaders. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agbsearch.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">AGB Search<\/span><\/a>, the firm conducting the process, recommended a larger Board presence to avoid rebooting the search a second time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou are the hiring board,\u201d said Roderick J. McDavis, managing principal at AGB Search. \u201cThere should be a major voice on the committee from this Board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustees also seemed to gravitate toward selecting a candidate outside of the academic spectrum. Most agreed with AGB Search\u2019s recommendation to change the language of the job description to include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preferring <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">terminal degrees instead of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requiring<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them to broaden the candidate pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although not expressing agreement toward a non-traditional pool, Navarro said qualifications and requirements are the will of the Board. He believes the College\u2019s community\u2014many of whom have protested the original search\u2014want to see a qualified candidate lead MDC, regardless of educational and career background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some of the faculty continue to disagree with the Board\u2019s preference, saying it brings the possibility of electing a non-academic president.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don&#8217;t understand why it\u2019s necessary to revisit that same question,\u201d said United Faculty of Miami Dade College President Elizabeth Ramsay. \u201cThe more recent appointees will quite likely not uphold the academic standards of the College. It\u2019s a real ignorance to how academia works.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustees also decided not to delay the search despite not having their five-year strategic plan in place at this time. They are on track to select a president by May of next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, if the process were to be delayed, it could possibly be affected by State Senator Manny Diaz Jr.\u2019s proposed bill to hide the names of presidential candidates in any Florida college or university. If the bill passed, it would not be enacted until July of next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navarro clarified the bill would not affect MDC\u2019s current search if it stays on track, but admitted Sunshine laws may scare away potential candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is a small group of people we\u2019re looking at. You\u2019re really putting your name in jeopardy at the institution where you work to apply somewhere else,\u201d Navarro said. \u201cThat\u2019s at the core. I believe that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff writer Corbin Bolies contributed to this report. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board of Trustees laid the groundwork for selecting a search committee that will be charged with selecting Miami Dade College\u2019s fifth permanent president on Nov. 12.
