Board approves three new L.A. community college presidents
The Los Angeles Community College District board of trustees appointed new presidents at three campuses earlier this week.
On Wednesday, the board voted unanimously to name Linda D. Rose as the new president of Los Angeles Southwest College, Otto W.K. Lee as president of Los Angeles Harbor College, and Erika A. Endrijonas as head of Los Angeles Valley College.
Rose will start in mid-July and the others will begin in August. Rose and Endrijonas will earn about $180,000 annually and Lee will make about $206,000.
Rose was the vice president for academic affairs at Santa Ana College for the past three years and worked at Cerritos College for 11 years before that. Lee was most recently the vice chancellor for instructional services for the San Diego Community College District, and Endrijonas was an executive vice president and accreditation liasion officer at Oxnard College.
The new presidents are replacing three interim leaders, two of whom are retiring.
All of their contracts run through June 2017.
