The Modesto Bee reported that Bandyopadhyay withdrew his application for Citrus on May 30. Previously, he was the interim president at Modesto Junior College before being named president on May 12. He assumed the role on June 1, the Oakdale Leader reported.
Bandyopadhyay will have a closed meeting with Chancellor Henry Yong and the Yosemite Community College District board on June 9 to determine where he stands.
The other two finalists are Brian Sanders, vice president of instruction at Columbia College, and Greg Schulz, president of Fullerton College.
Final interviews took place on May 27 and 28 before the Citrus College Board of Trustees. Board of Trustees Clerk/Secretary Laura Bollinger said she expects the board to appoint the new superintendent/president at its June 15 regular meeting.
