Portland Community College President Jeremy Brown

The president of Portland Community College, Jeremy Brown, is an applicant for a chancellor job in Arkansas.


Brown is among 54 candidates seeking the job at Mid-South Community College in West Memphis, Ark., according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Brown joined PCC less than two years ago, replacing Preston Pulliams, who served for nine years. Before coming to Portland, Brown worked at Dowling College on Long Island and Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, one of the state's public universities.

Brown hasn't returned a phone call from WW to answer questions about what's prompting him to consider leaving.
