The California State University Board of Trustees Special Committee to Consider the Selection of the Chancellor has started the search process for the next chancellor by hosting the first two of six scheduled open forum at Sacramento State and Cal State East Bay.
Upcoming forums are as follows:
- Wednesday, November 20, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Dumke Auditorium at the California State University Office of the Chancellor (estimated start time pending the conclusion of the Board of Trustees meeting).
- Friday, November 22, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Services Building - multipurpose room at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
- Tuesday, December 3, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom at California State University San Marcos.
- Thursday, December 5, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Satellite Student Union at California State University, Fresno.
These forums are part of a listening tour to gather feedback from stakeholders and interested parties as the trustees search for the university's next chancellor. This information will help guide the recruitment activities over the next several months, with the goal to appoint a new chancellor in summer 2020. Chancellor Timothy P. White announced his intent to retire at the end of the 2019-20 academic year.
The open forums will also be livestreamed on the Chancellor's recruitment website. The website will provide information about the search, including a place for people to submit feedback regarding the next chancellor directly to the committees.
