The Desert Sun 6/15 – College of the Desert names new interim leader from Inland Empire’s Chaffey College
The College of the Desert Board of Trustees has named Laura Hope of Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga as COD’s interim superintendent/president effective July 1, pending an employment agreement.
Hope was selected from four candidates that interviewed with the COD board at a meeting behind closed doors earlier in June, Board Chair Bonnie Stefan announced Thursday.
The often-divided COD board unanimously approved Hope’s contract agreement for a base salary of $355,000 plus a salary increase after one year of 4% or that which is granted to management staff, whichever figure is higher. Hope will also receive a $1,000 per month housing stipend during the term of the one-year agreement. The agreement could expire sooner if COD appoints a new superintendent/president.
