Two in-house candidates were vying to be interim dean of Instruction and Social Sciences at Lake Tahoe Community College, with Kurt Green coming out on top.

The English instructor will not have any teaching responsibilities while he is in this role. Green served as interim administrator at the South Lake Tahoe college several years ago.

He takes over for Diane Rosner who retired earlier this summer.

LTCC is juggling administrators.

The Aug. 24 meeting was the final meeting for Susan Middleton, who for the past month has been acting president for the past month. Her main job had been as vice president of Academic Affairs and Student Services. She has been with the college for a quarter century.

This leaves Cynthea Preston, dean of instruction, and Virginia Boyar, head of career and technical education, as the most tenured administrators on campus.

Susan Niehoff came on board in January as vice president of Business Services; Tom Greene started this month as Middleton’s replacement; and Steve Maradian starts Aug. 31 as interim president.

Green is not expected to be in the interim dean role for longer than this academic year that is about to start.

“We are looking at potentially restructuring the administrative team and the administrative duties,” board President Kerry David told Lake Tahoe News.

Until the board, with input from faculty, staff and administrators, comes up with a plan, the future hierarchy of the college remains an unknown.
