Larson Will Head CSUN Center for Deaf
Herbert Larson has been named permanent director of the National Center on Deafness at Cal State Northridge, it was announced Thursday.
Larson was appointed acting director in mid-March after the center’s former director, Victor H. Galloway, was asked to resign amid complaints of mismanaged funds.
The center provides interpreting and note-taking services for deaf students who attend regular CSUN classes. Larson formerly was administrator of support services at the center.
An audit of the center’s budget conducted at the end of March found that Galloway had spent nearly all of the budget for the 1989-90 school year by the third month of the second semester. Campus administrators cut travel, hiring and student worker funding for the remainder of the year and agreed to provide additional money to continue interpreting services through June.
A review of the center’s programs--including an analysis of whether it would be more efficient to fold it into the School of Education--is expected to be completed in the fall.
