When your University President quits and three years later CSU still hasn’t begun to search for a permanent replacement.

This strikes me as almost defiant, as in "That's fine if you wait until after May 1st to clear out your office." But I don't know what they think is going to change on May 1st. I don't see how doing everything exactly the same complies with the restraining order.

SSU President search re-opened, but without any explanation as to why it was closed in the first place, nor an apology for that. Most of all, no indication that the permanent President will be any less eager than the interim President was to gut the school's academic program and shift to vocational.

This is from the legislative hearings on the future of #SonomaState, held February 21, 2025. The congressman who has represented this campus "forever" understands #SSU better than the CSU system itself does. The rot at the CSU system goes all the way to the top, and the legislature must intervene.

SSU's recovery plan must focus on (1) messaging the campus's unique facility, (2) delivering a unique liberal arts leadership development experience, and (3) removing barriers to entry below, especially the 6-unit cliff that makes it expensive to go part time. #SSU should be the pilot for a change.

![There is almost nothing that California does, compared to its higher education system, that has a more profound impact on social mobility, on social equity, and our sense of community and belonging, and our economic development and power as a state. We’re here to hold the CSU, and all of us, accountable for an action plan for [Sonoma State] university to grow and to thrive.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r5evx5gt25syogqvx6zkldwa/bafkreigwyy5zq3neryrvushokx7zmb62tjaa7mcaljhqupfu7raeaslofu@jpeg)
