Andrus, J.D., a political science professor and immediate past president of the COC Academic Senate, was named acting chancellor effective July 15 after the Santa Clarita Valley Community College District Board of Trustees voted on July 10 to put Chancellor Dianne Van Hook on administrative leave effective July 15. The reason for the board’s action has yet to be explained. Van Hook, hired in 1988 to lead the college, announced her retirement, on July 22. She was at COC for 36 years.

Andrus’ title was changed from acting chancellor to interim president at a meeting of the COC board in August. He was hired to join the faculty at COC in 2002.
