BOSSIER CITY, LA (AP) — Rick Bateman, Jr., has been named interim chancellor at Bossier Parish Community College.
KTBS-TV reports Bateman, interim chancellor at Northwest Louisiana Technical College, will hold both jobs temporarily starting Jan. 1.
He replaces BPCC Chancellor Jim Henderson, who will take over as president at Northwestern State University on Jan. 1.
In the next several weeks, the Louisiana Community and Technical College Board of Supervisors will conduct a nationwide search to permanently fill the BPCC chancellor's job.
The process will include the selection of a search committee, stakeholder meetings, campus meetings, and public forums. Officials say faculty, staff, and students will be included in the process.
