STOCKTON (CBS13) — Less than a year after he was selected San Joaquin Delta College’s superintendent/president, Dr. Jeff Marsee was placed on paid administrative leave on Thursday by the school’s board of trustees.

During a special closed-session meeting on the Stockton campus, the board voted unanimously, 7 – 0. The leave is effective immediately until further board action. The special meeting was a continuation of the board’s closed-session meeting Tuesday.

Thursday’s action comes after a no-confidence vote by California Teachers Association members at the college. Ninety-six percent of its members voted no confidence in Marsee, according to the union.

Marsee was named the junior college’s superintendent/president on Feb. 22 after a nationwide search, according to the college. His official hire date was May 1. The school gave him a three-year contract at $235,768 annually. He was previously the superintendent/president of College of the Redwoods, a junior college in Eureka.

Dr. Kathleen Hart, the school’s assistant superintendent/vice president of instructional services, , was named Delta’s acting superintendent/president until further notice.

I can’t believe that these individuals are paid so much money for occupying positions where they are not really interested in performing their duties on behalf of others whom they are supposed to manage or assist, isn’t serving others the main goal of an individual in a society, otherwise what is the point of being part of a society just receive?, it just doesn’t work that way.
