desert community college district board of trustees agenda item

\
STATEMENT BY VIRNITA MCDONALD
It is with deep regret that I have to announce that we have
just accepted, by a 5-0 vote, the resignation of Dr. David George,
effective at the beginning of the new semester. He has been our
President/Superintendent for ten years and we feel he has done an
exemplary job . He is well liked and much respected in the
community, where he is a familiar figure at many events. His work
with the Foundation has brought many rewards and long term benefits
to this institution. Our new Regional Library is one structure
that he helped to bring to reality. He has indicated to us his
love for this institution and his loyalty to our mission and
purpose, while he has expressed great sorrow that personal
presssures both private and public have mandated this action.
He has requested, and been granted, the right to return to the
faculty in the Fall of 1996. After a period of professional
revitalization and preparation, he will return to classroom
teaching in the Fall of 1997. We are sorry to see him leave as
President, and wish him well in his future endeavor.
