Shoreline Community College Interim President Daryl Campbell is a finalist for the presidency at North Seattle Community College.
Campbell made the announcement at the Feb. 26, 2014 Board of Trustees meeting, adding that he is honored to be consider for the position at North Seattle. “However, I want to make it clear; I get up every day focused on the work here at Shoreline Community College,” Campbell said.
Shoreline is conducting its own search for a permanent president after Lee Lambert resigned in June, 2013 to take the chancellor position at Pima Community College, in Tucson, Ariz. Campbell, who had been Vice President for Administrative Services at Shoreline since 2008, was named interim president by the Board of Trustees while a nationwide search was conducted to find a permanent replacement.
In June, board members decided that the interim president would not be eligible to apply for the permanent position. The restriction is a common move in such cases to assure that other potential candidates would not perceive the interim as having an unfair advantage.
Shoreline’s search process has resulted in four finalists being selected, including, in alphabetical order:
On-campus interviews with the Shoreline finalists are scheduled for the week of April 7, and details are expected soon.
North Seattle’s search process began in December with the position announcement. Semi-finalist interviews were conducted in mid-February and finalists then notified. The announcement by Campbell is, so far, the only one made public. The published timeline for the North Seattle process indicates finalist interviews March 10-14 and new president announced in April.
The start dates for new presidents at both colleges is anticipated to be July 1, 2014.

On-campus interviews with the four finalists for the president’s position at Shoreline Community College will be scheduled for the week of April 7.
While the schedule is later than anticipated, the college Board of Trustees is committed to finding and bringing the best leadership to the Shoreline, said Trustee Tayloe Washburn, who led the Feb. 26, 2014 board meeting where the decision was made.
In alphabetical order, the candidates are:
The candidates will be scheduled for individual campus visits over four days; four days, April 7-8, 10-11. No visit is currently anticipated for April 9. While the details will be announced once confirmed with the candidates, each day will include in-person interviews and public forums. Feedback from those sessions will be collected and forwarded to the board for use in making a final decision.
“The board was hit by a perfect storm of scheduling problems” Washburn said. “The good news is that all of our candidates are still in the game and we are moving forward as quickly as we can.”
Washburn noted that the board had pushed for an expedited schedule that brought recommendations from a broad-based screening committee to them in January. Washburn, who participated in the screening committee process, praised the group’s work.
An initial delay came during board diligence in reviewing those recommendations, which then set off a cascade of unintended consequences, said Stephen P. Smith, Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. Considerations included the Legislature’s schedule for Board Chair Shoubee Liaw who works in Olympia during the session, then spring break when students and faculty aren’t on campus and then start of the new quarter. A final wrinkle came, Smith said, when two of the finalists noted a conflict due to presenting at a prestigious national conference.
The current schedule was approved unanimously at the Feb. 26, 2014 board meeting. The trustees also approved two related motions, dealing with prompt communication of the schedule and agreeing to pay reasonable travel expenses for each candidate and a spouse should they choose.
The Global Affairs Center will host a discussion on Indonesia in the PUB quiet dining room at 7 p.m. A conversation about the history and outlook of the fourth most populous country in the world with roots in Asia, Islam, and the west with guests Anita Sulaiman and Diah Satya Darmawaty.
