The Virginia Community College System, which hired a new chancellor in March over the objections of Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, will conduct another search for chancellor after all.
The board of the system announced Monday that Russell Kavalhuna, whom it hired in March, but who has yet to take office, has agreed to negotiate an agreement to stay at Henry Ford College, in Michigan.
“We are disappointed, of course,” said NL Bishop, chair of the Virginia community college board. “Russ is an outstanding educator and leader in workforce development. We were looking forward to his joining us, but we respect his intent to remain in Michigan. We wish him well.”
Glenn DuBois is retiring at the end of this month after 21 years leading the Virginia system. While the board prepares to launch a national search to select the next permanent chancellor, it has named Sharon Morrissey to serve as interim chancellor. Morrissey is currently the system’s senior vice chancellor for academic and workforce programs.
