On Wednesday, the board hired Jolene Koester, a former Cal State Northridge president, as interim chancellor. Koester, 74, will on May 1 assume the post vacated by Joseph Castro, who resigned in Februaryfollowing a USA Today exposé into his mishandling of sexual harassment allegations against a senior colleague while president of Fresno State. Koester is expected to hold the position for 12 months while the board searches for a permanent chancellor — a job she says she doesn’t want. I’m “150% committed” to the interim position, she told Mikhail, “and then it will be time to let someone else build and grow the system with all of its wonder after me.” Koester also expressed “strong empathy for individuals who were so negatively affected by what took place” and “a strong sense of the importance to make things right.”
