The finalists — including interim Chancellor Mitch Bailey — have been meeting with the college community all week.
City College of San Francisco last week named five finalists for the chancellor position, which includes interim Chancellor Mitchell Bailey.
Others named as finalists include Rudy Besikof, president of Laney College in Oakland; Carlos Cortez, former chancellor of the San Diego Community College District; Kimberlee Messina, president of Spokane Falls Community College in Washington; and Henry Yong, chancellor of the Yosemite College Community District.
