Cal State System Seeks 3 Campus Presidents
Top California State University officials are looking for three new presidents. The system will launch a nationwide search, employing headhunters and posting listings in national publications to fill the positions at the Chico, Sacramento and Pomona campuses.
Retiring next summer will be: Donald Gerth, president of Cal State Sacramento; Bob Suzuki, president of Cal Poly Pomona; and Manuel Esteban, president of Cal State Chico.
They will leave the most vacancies the Cal State system has had at one time.
Three five-member selection committees have been formed.
Cal State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed called the job of finding a new president “the single most important thing that a chancellor and Board of Trustees does.”
