Following a 5 p.m. executive session, the Clark College board of trustees will meet in open session at about 6:30 p.m. and are expected to announce whether they will extend president Wayne Branch’s three-year contract, which expires in August. Branch, whose dynamic style has been considered abrasive by some, initiated a string of changes in the 73-year-old institution—the third largest community college in the state—including co-admission agreements with four regional universities, the opening of a Clark College building on the Washington State University Vancouver campus, and sustained enrollment in an environment where other community colleges are experiencing a decline in enrollment. Branch’s style generated a 90 percent no-confidence vote from the faculty. The faculty union presented their findings to the five-member board of trustees in May. Last week, the board held at least two closed-door meetings with Branch. At stake is renewal of Branch’s contract, which ends in August. The College today issued the following notice: “In accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act, Clark College announces that its board of trustees will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, at 5:30 p.m. in the Clark Baird Board Room [1800 McLoughlin Boulevard]. The Board will convene the meeting into executive session at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the evaluation of a public employee Pursuant to RCW 42.30.110(1)(g). The board of trustees expects to return to an open board session for discussion and possible action regarding the president’s contract at approximately 6:30 p.m.” JD White hires biology scientist
