City College of San Francisco announced Carlos O. Cortez as the new chancellor, pending Board of Trustees approval. However, the Board met privately and chose not to vote, leaving uncertainty about the appointment. They deleted the announcement and removed agenda items concerning his contract, despite public support for Cortez. Previously the chancellor of the San Diego Community College District, Cortez has a controversial history including a DUI arrest in Florida. The Board did not explain their decision-making process, further complicating the situation.
Multiple speakers at the meeting expressed support for Cortez, highlighting their desire for his leadership during the decision-making process.
Anita Martinez, the Board of Trustees president, lauded the candidate for his "proven track record of success in academic innovation, fundraising, student success, and community engagement."
