Columbia Gorge Community College President Frank Toda has received a two-year contract extension from the school’s Board of Education.  Board members made the move after a lengthy meeting Tuesday night that included passage of the school’s 2015-16 budget.  The board gave Toda a vote of confidence, continued his contract for one year, and then added an additional one-year extension.  Toda received the extension in spite of what has become a rocky relationship with the school’s faculty.  Faculty members in April voted to “censure” Toda and called for his resignation, and had taken a vote of no-confidence in the fall of 2013.  But the majority of the Board of Education has stood behind Toda.  Soon after the faculty censure, six board members signed on to a letter printed in both The Dalles Chronicle and the Hood River News defending Toda and saying the instructors were “trying to defame their CEO.”  Board member Stu Watson did not join the rest of the board in that letter.  He called for Toda to step down at a board meeting in March, but received no second.
