The search to find Eduardo J. Padr\u00f3n\u2019s successor started last February, but was scrapped five months later after the Board of Trustees<\/span><\/a> decided the candidate pool was too narrow on the same day they were scheduled to make a decision. The decision sparked controversy, and a second hunt<\/span>\u2014<\/span> spearheaded by AGB Search<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u2014began<\/span> in September.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As of Monday, 15 candidates have applied for the position. Eleven of them come from academia, and the other four candidates come from diverse fields like business, medical, energy management and engineering world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

None of the candidates currently serve as the president of an educational institution, but John Frederic Garman ran <\/span>Berkeley City College in California from 2001 until 2006. The school has just over 6,400 students. <\/span>Another candidate, Efrain Vasquez-Vera, formerly served as president of the Humacao Campus at the University of Puerto Rico from 2014 to 2016. The campus has more than 4,700 students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By comparison, one of Miami Dade College\u2019s smallest campuses, the <\/span>Eduardo J. Padr\u00f3n Campus has 6,500 students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Faculty believe a big part of the problem is that the new search does not include enough faculty representation on the 17-person search committee<\/span>\u2014only two, the last search led by Diversified Search had three\u2014<\/span> and\u00a0 is tailored for candidates outside the educational sphere because a terminal degree is a preference, not a requirement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Elizabeth
Let It All Out: Elizabeth Ramsay, president\u00a0of the United Faculty of Miami Dade College, makes her voice heard during a protest against Miami Dade College’s presidential search on March 5 at Kendall Campus.
HEIDI PEREZ-MORENO\/THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe started with such high hopes looking for our next leader for the College,\u201d said Elizabeth Ramsay, president of UFMDC. \u201cNow, the lack of any academic credential or any higher ed administrative experience [for candidates] seems to mark the end of an era of academic excellence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That is a drastic shift from the initial search, which required candidates to have a doctoral degree and a decade’s worth of senior-level management experience, and at least six years of experience in academia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AGB Search facilitated three hour-long listening sessions between students, faculty and administrators to aid in the search. Professors began raising concerns about the process during a listening session at Wolfson Campus on Jan. 17.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a basic disconnect right now between faculty and the search process,\u201d Ramsay said in an interview with <\/span>The Reporter<\/span><\/i>, a day after the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to sources, the meeting was tense. Faculty felt they were invited under false pretenses. The invitation to the meeting said it was an opportunity to comment on the search, and discuss challenges facing MDC. The firm, however, used notes from the meeting to craft the College\u2019s extended profile.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think they heard the words we were saying, but I don\u2019t think they took it to heart,\u201d said Steve Kronen, a librarian at West Campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rod McDavis, managing principal at AGB Search, said the faculty\u2019s grievances were passed along to Trustee Nicole Washington, who chairs the search committee. <\/span>The Reporter <\/span><\/i>obtained AGB Search\u2019s notes from the meeting, which mentioned the faculty\u2019s complaints. However, those complaints were not listed on the notes that AGB Search gave Washington.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So What\u2019s Next?<\/span><\/p>\n

The priority deadline for candidates to apply is March 23. Three days later, the search committee will select eight to 10 semifinalists during a meeting at Wolfson Campus and semi finalists will be interviewed on April 23-24.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, candidates can apply after the March 23 priority date. Under that scenario, Washington would determine if the committee reviews the candidate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Judith Wilde, chief operating officer of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, said the maneuver could be a way to sneak applicants in at the last minute without public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a way to get around the [Florida] Sunshine Law,\u201d said Wilde, who\u00a0 is working on a research study at GMU that examines secret presidential searches at colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

The BOT will interview finalists on May 13-14. Trustees are <\/span>expected to select a new president by May 19. The president is expected to start by July.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
