The Mountain Xpress has the story:

Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College has begun planning for a new college president in the wake of last month’s announcement that current President Dr. Betty Young would resign.

College Board of Trustees Chairwoman Carol Peterson sent an e-mail to staff members on Wednesday with an update on the transition plans.

“On Monday, David Wyatt, Board Vice Chairman, and I met with Dr. Young and the Vice Presidents to discuss where we go from here. As a result of that meeting, the Vice Presidents have begun the process of transition planning and they will need your assistance and support in the weeks and months ahead. At the next Board of Trustees meeting on February 2nd, each Vice President will present a transition plan for their division to the Board of Trustees for approval.”

My two cents: we have one of the nation’s premier community college president search firms right here in Asheville – Gold Hill Associates. They should have been used to replace K. Ray in the first place, and they should be used now. Keep it local. Viva la CARP.

Ditto what Jenny said!

I just wanted to send out a big "thank-you" to Ash for the excellent work in the publication this blog is for Asheville and ihe community.

I was looking through today’s positngs and an thrilled to find so much useful and interesting information–ranging from business, events, music, happening, celebrity news and cool developments from all over.

Very little of this stuff do we see in the daily newspaper–especially a weak one like the Citizen-Times.

Good work. Loyal readers you have.
