Jones' CCC presidency extended to February
Dec. 7—CLOVIS — Robin Jones' term as interim president of Clovis Community College on Wednesday was extended to Feb. 1, the date of the college board of trustees' next regular meeting.
The board does not meet in January.
The CCC Board of Trustee's voted 4-to-0 to extend Jones' appointment at Wednesday's regular meeting. Trustee Laura Leal abstained from voting, as she did for the November and October votes on extending Jones' tenure. In October, Leal said it was time to make a decision on CCC President Charles Nwankwo's future with the college.
Jones was named interim president at a special board meeting on Aug. 8 and that appointment was extended at the board's regular meetings in September, October and November. She was appointed following the board's decision to place Nwankwo on paid administrative leave beginning Aug. 8.
Votes of "no confidence" in Nwankwo by three CCC employee groups led to Nwankwo being placed on paid leave and to an ongoing investigation into allegations against Nwankwo by the Albuquerque law firm of Cuddy and McCarthy.
Nwankwo has been CCC's president since February 2020. He has repeatedly declined to comment on the trustees' actions or the allegations against him.
