Berkeley City College President Angélica Garcia has been recognized on a list of 25 educators published by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education. The issue was released to coincide with Women s History Month and is the magazine s 10th anniversary of highlighting women who have made a difference in academics by tackling some of education s toughest challenges, according to a news release from the school.
Garcia, who identifies as pansexual, began her tenure as president of the community college in May 2020. The school is part of the Peralta Community College District and is known for civic engagement; student support services, including for veterans and the undocumented community; and a top college for Fulbright scholars and students transferring to four-year schools, including UC Berkeley, the release stated.
An Oakland-based community college district may soon be forced to cede power to the state if its Board of Trustees can’t quell concerns about its ability to properly govern the district.
Intervening at the Peralta Community College District, home to four East Bay colleges serving almost 30,000 students, would be a drastic step. Only twice previously has the state chancellor’s office and the systemwide Board of Governors assumed power from a locally-elected governing board: At the City College of San Francisco in 2013 and at Compton College in 2004.
The colleges in Peralta, one of 73 districts in California’s vast 116 community college system, are Laney College and Merritt College in Oakland, Berkeley City College and the College of Alameda.
