Santa Monica College is looking for a new president to replace Dr. Piedad Robertson. A search committee has been formed to find the best candidate. Meanwhile, Tom Donner is serving as interim president until the end of this year.
SMC in the past has had a tumultuous relationship with City Hall, with many elected leaders and community members accusing the college of disregarding the fact that the institution is growing at a rapid rate, therefore negatively affecting residents’ quality of life here.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “What qualities should the next president of SMC possess and what issues will he or she need to address?”
