SILVER SPRING, MD Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard has been named one of four finalists for Nevada State College s top position.
Pollard who assumed leadership of Montgomery College in 2010 will participate in a public forum hosted by Nevada State on April 27. If selected, Pollard will replace the institution s current president, Bart Patterson, who is stepping down on June 30. As many institutional leaders do, Dr. Pollard is considering a professional opportunity created by the retirement of the president of Nevada State College, located in Henderson, Nevada, Montgomery College said in an emailed statement to Patch. Dr. Pollard responded to this unique opportunity because it aligns with her deep commitment to student access and success in higher education.

Dear Dr. Marc Parlange,
On April 12, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the University of Rhode Island (URI) announced your selection as our next President. Sadly, the announcement came as a disappointment to many members of the URI community – faculty, staff and students – who firmly believe that your selection arose from a grossly flawed, discriminatory hiring process that harms African Americans, specifically, and the diversity and inclusion efforts of the whole URI community.
I write (A) to inform you of the history of systemic racism at URI up to and including your appointment as yet another White, male President, the seriously flawed recruitment process that led to your selection, and the toxic environment and discord that you most certainly will inherit the moment you assume your new position, and (B) to implore you to rescind your acceptance.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
