The "8th Update" of the Community College League of California's (League) CEO Tenure & Retention Study provides an overview of tenure rates across the California Community Colleges' history while also analyzing key changes in demographic trends. Specifically, the study reveals a more equitable distribution of male and female chief executive officers (CEOs) in the last 30 years, and also illustrates the effects the Great Recession has had on CEO retention. The "8th Update" is the first version of the study to feature a dynamic dashboard with visual representation of over 100 years of California Community College chief executive officer tenure data. This study is intended to be read in conjunction with the CEO Tenure & Retention Dashboard© which provides opportunities for further analysis. The dashboard can be viewed at www.ccleague.org/CEOtenure. [Brent Johnson was a contributing author to this report. For the 7th Update, see ED620071.]
