Basic Function and Other Details:
MiraCosta Community College District in coastal, north San Diego County, California, invites applications for the position of Vice President of Administrative Services to begin in January 2019. The position is open until filled. The submission deadline for the first screening of applications is Monday, October 22, 2018.
The district will be separating the existing Vice President, Business and Administrative Services (VPBAS) position into two positions -- Vice President, Administrative Services (VPAS) and Vice President, Human Resources (VPHR). The BAS division is being restructured to better focus on the college's efforts over the next decade. Human Resources will be removed from the division, and the division name will be changed to Administrative Services. The newly created Administrative Services division will oversee facilities, contracts, purchasing, and the $455 million Measure MM bond. This change will allow the VPAS to oversee additional program and project management duties. The Human Resources division will focus on functions critical to recruiting, hiring, and developing employees. The newly created VPHR position will allow for more focus on labor relations, compliance, Title IX, professional development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals.
The district is now recruiting for the VPAS and VPHR positions simultaneously. The screening and interview committee for each position will select and interview candidates from their respective applicant pools. Each committee will forward a smaller group of finalists for a second-level interview with the Superintendent/President. Only the single most qualified candidate from this combined group of finalists will be hired, either for the VPAS position or the VPHR position. The incumbent VPBAS will then be placed in the remaining VP position.
