When Hiring the CEOWhen Hiring the CEO
At some colleges, the Chair of the search committee for this administrative position is a senior administrator with academic or student services experience; it is also not uncommon to have a faculty co-chair as well. This arrangement can build district-wide trust in the entire selection process.
At some colleges, a consultant may oversee the process, with significant input from the college constituents.

Conducting a Successful CEO Search
Conducting a Successful CEO Search
“Because the outcome of the selection process is so important, it should never be taken lightly or conducted in haste. The entire district--and particularly the board--will benefit from a comprehensive and thoughtful process that involves the appropriate constituencies of the institution and community and clarifies goals and priorities. Such a process allows the board to select a person it can support fully and establishes a foundation that enables the new leader to be effective.”

Faculty have a vested interest in who will lead their college, work with them in collegial consultation, and who will be their colleagues. Particularly with fulltime faculty hires, faculty have a professional stake in who will teach and advise their students and in who will work with them to “develop and safeguard the curriculum and uphold the sort of instruction that is maximally productive of humane values and which contributes toward students becoming informed, compassionate and productive members of their communities.” The Future of the Community Colleges: A Faculty Perspective
(ASCCC paper adopted Fall 1998).
