Contract finalized to make Cheryl Roberts the next president at Shoreline Community College

Cheryl Roberts

Contract discussions began following the Board of Trustees’ unanimous April 21, 2014 decision to offer Cheryl Roberts the job of President of Shoreline Community College.

Details were recently completed with Roberts signing the pact which will now go to the trustees for the formality of signing at the June board meeting.

“I’m very excited to have this piece of the process out of the way and be able to focus on the transition to serving the students, communities and partners of Shoreline,” Roberts said. “I want to thank the trustees and all who participated in the thorough and thoughtful process that is bringing me to this dynamic college.”

Under the three-year contract, Roberts will be paid $200,000 a year. Roberts will receive a set amount to help defray expenses related to moving from the Salem, Ore-area where she is now President at Chemeketa Community College. She’ll also get another six days of annual leave beyond the normal amount stipulated for administrative-exempt employees at the college.

Roberts’ start date will be Aug. 18, 2014 while Campbell’s current contract runs through June 30. His agreement is likely to be extended to help make for a seamless transition and Campbell has said he would stay until Roberts arrives.
