The board of the Virginia Community College System agreed Wednesday to add a representative of Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration to the search committee for a new chancellor. The move came after Youngkin told board members to include his administration in the search process or resign, The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
Youngkin has been pushing to be involved in the search for several months.
“If for any reason you feel like you cannot commit to this mission, I will accept your resignation by June 30 with gratitude for your service,” Youngkin wrote in a letter to the State Board for Community Colleges two weeks ago.
