By Jacob Sanchez, Fort Worth Report March 17, 2022 After six years at the helm of Tarrant County College, Eugene Giovannini soon no longer will be chancellor. The board of trustees on March 17 voted to begin terminating Giovannini. The vote was 6-0, with trustee Jeannie Deakyne absent. For the past two weeks, the board met in executive session to discuss whether to terminate Giovannini's contract. Board President Teresa Ayala described these discussions as difficult. She said trustees had good cause for ending the chancellor's contract.
