A call for Latino to lead Hartnell College - California

Nearly 14 years ago, when Hartnell College was in the process of selecting a new president-superintendent, Latino leaders in Salinas raised their voices and asked that a Latino candidate be chosen.

Now, as the process to select a new leader for the community college is coming to an end, several of those same leaders are raising their voices again. This time they assert the process has been tainted and is favoring Phoebe Helm, the interim superintendent and the only non-Latina among the three finalists.

Santos Martinez Jr., vice president of student services at Coastal Bend College in Texas, was interviewed Monday, and Cecilia Cervantes, president of the College of Alameda, was interviewed Tuesday. Helm is scheduled for today.”*
