■ Title: president ot Spokane Falls
Community College since August
1988
■ Doctorate degree: in English from

College in Hampton, Va., from

Dr. Vern Loland
San Antonio College presidential finalist
that although Loland is coming from a
college that enrolled about 6,000 students
in the 1996-97 year, Loland can make the
transition because the dilemmas of a col-
lege president do not change.
“I think when coming from a smaller
institution, I think the problems you’re
going to encounter are the same, just at a
larger magnitude,” Flores said.
Dr. Cecil Taliaferro, dean of educational
support and student life, said after meet-
ing with the four finalists, Loland stood
out as the best candidate.
“I’m elated,” Taliaferro said. “We in-
terviewed all four individuals. I went back
twice to see him (Loland) speak.”
Some of Loland’s colleagues at Spokane
Falls, such as John Hernandez, vice presi-
dent of the Association of Higher Educa-
tion at Spokane Falls, said Loland some-
times controls situations.
“He maybe bordered about being a
little bit rude as far as giving people time
to speak,” Hernandez said in the Oct. 31
issue of The Ranger.
Search committee Co-chairperson Bill
Byerly said he did receive feedback char-
acterizing Loland as “brash” from indi-
viduals who met Loland during his visit
to this campus.
“I’ve heard a couple of individuals
make those remarks,” Byerly, government
chairperson, said. “I don’t think there is
any basis for that — whether it be an an-
swer to a question, his reaction or facial
expressions at one of the forums.”
Byerly’s co-chairperson, Rosa Maria
Gonzalez, said, “I hate to see people criti-
cize him (Loland) before he ever starts.”

► What: Administration
and faculty call next
president competent.
Many of this college’s leaders were glad
to finally select a president and were sat-
isfied with the choice of Dr. Vern Loland,
president of Spokane Falls Community
College in Spokane, Wash.
Loland visited the campus Oct. 20 as
one of four finalists.
Loland met with the chancellor, this
college’s administration, Faculty Senate
and Staff Council for one-hour sessions.
Loland also spoke at a forum which was
open to the public.
“It was a good impression of him and
what impressed me was his competence
and knowledge of college administration,”
interim President Robert Zeigler said.
Zeigler believes Loland will be an ad-
vocate for the college.
“I think any president of the college is
going to be an advocate for the college
and Loland will do that,” Zeigler said. “To
me an advocate of the college is someone
who will work with the community and
present a good image of the college.”
Zeigler said Loland seems like he will
listen to concerns of others.
“I think he’ll be a willing to listen to
people,” Zeigler said. “I think he’s going
to be fine.”
Dr. Margaret Hyde, dean of arts and
sciences, said the deans will work to sup-
port Loland.
“It’s nice to have the matter setded,”
Hyde said. “We will work as hard as we
can to support Dr. Loland and work for
the good of the college.
“He is certainly capable, qualified and
experienced.”
Ruben Flores, dean of extended ser-
vices, did not meet Loland when he vis-
ited the campus because he had jury duty.
Flores hopes Loland does not change
the current administrative structure and

The diversity subcommittee’s goal is for
the diversity of the faculty and staff at this
college be in proportion to the ethnic di-
versity of the student population.
• One objective in reaching that goal is
by August 1999,60 percent of the admin-
istrative, faculty and professional positions
applicant pool will consist of individuals
from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
• Another objective is by August 1999,
100 percent of administrative, faculty and
professional positions at this college be
advertised through national journals spe-
cific to the position announced.
Wednesday’s meeting was the first of
the council, which is recognized as this
college’s legislative voting body which
votes for policy under the governance
structure approved by the college coun-
cil Oct. 8.
Dr. Enrique Solis Jr., executive direc-
tor of the Hispanic Border Leadership
Institute at New Mexico State University
in Las Cruces, N.M., accepted the presi-
dency position at Palo Alto College
Thursday.
Solis was offered the position by Chai
cellor Robert Ramsay Oct. 27.
Palo Alto was the only college Solis
applied, so he had no other offers to con-
sider.
Solis and his wife, Sandra, were in town
Nov. 8-9 at their own expense to visit their
potential home and visit the chancellor at
his office as a courtesy.
“It was just a chat,” Solis said. “We dis-
cussed educational issues important to
both of us.”
Solis was one of three names submit-
ted to Ramsay by the search committee.
Dr. Mike Lopez, associate vice chan-
cellor of student affairs for the Minnesota
State Colleges and Universities in St. Paul,
nonvoting chairperson.
Ramsay said he expects to recommend
a single candidate to the board of trust-
ees at their regular meeting Dec. 16.
Ramsay said the committee might may
present a candidate to the board at the
December meeting, depending on how
fast it works.
Northwest Vista’s president will take
office in mid-February, Ramsay said.
j
Minn., declined his position as a finalist.
Ramsay called Lopez Oct. 27 to offer
him the position, but Lopez declined.
Dr. Alvin Marrow, dean of instruction
at Catonsville Community College in
Catonsville, Md., was the third finalist.
Solis has been a Tide 3 consultant for
this college and Palo Alto.
As a Title 3 consultant, Solis wrote
evaluation reports on the progress of vari-
ous Tide 3 projects with an outside pro-
spective.
Solis evaluated this college’s Title 3 pro-
gram in spring ’97 and Palo Alto’s in
spring ’96.
Solis said he does not mind not getting
tenure status at Palo Alto if he selects the
position.
At this college, Dr. Stephen
Runnebohm, dean of humanities and so-
cial sciences at Mount San Antonio Col-
lege, Walnut, Calif., declined his position
as this college’s top candidate when he was
not allowed to have tenure status as a pro-
fessor if he were to resign as president.
“That is a common practice at univer-
sities, but not a common practice at com-
munity colleges,” Solis said.
Solis would not give specifics on his
contract because it is still under discus-
sion, he said.
The president position at Palo Alto is
slated to make $92,000 a year under the
1997-98 district budget.
Beginning in 1977, Solis held four ad-
ministrative positions at El Paso Commu-
nity College.
Northwest Vista’s presidential search
committee was to meet today but because
Vice Chancellor Ernest Martinez’s mother
died, the meeting was cancelled.
Committee members are not certain
when the next meeting will be.
The committee has 66 applications for
the top position at Northwest Vista since
the postmark deadline Oct. 31.
Employment manager James Dickerson
said the 66 applications were enough so
the committee would not have to
readvertise.
When the search committee at this col-
lege received about 46 applications, they
readvertised May 25 because the commit-
tee believed that was an inadequate num-
ber to work with.
When the committee gathered the ap-
plications from the readvertising, they
collected 46 applications.
Ramsay appointed a 12-member com-
mittee Oct. 15 with Martinez as the
cil, also approved the addition of
