Southwestern Suitors
SWC is now just like the US gov. in miniature. Special interests and corruption. Period. I've been at SWC for 10 years now and have seen the GB continue to go through presidents until they find the one that suits their personal agendas. They've found one. Chopra's a lap dog for the self-important, local-politician-wanna-be GB members who want to line their pockets heading into their sunset years. They're doing it on the backs of students. Cut class offerings, claim to be serving students with bogus and fluffy GB newsletters and other releases and trot the lap dog Chopra out there to consistently utter inane comments that sound like 'Rubba buuble blibby blather crumply student success flanky whoopy wobbley. Thank you." What an impotent, so called president. As long as he can guide the upper administration's yacht into calm waters where the oasis of money can be found, he's their man. How sad to see a grown man emasculated by three boss ladies who direct his every move. And oh yeah, here's a "lousy $15,000" raise, as Chopra put it. He should have lost favor with the entire community when people are losing jobs and he calls his raise a "lousy $15,000." Hey Chula Vistans trying to get by in this economy, a "lousy $15,000" would certainly come in handy eh? What a blow hard. While the entire American capitalist democracy has peaked and is clearly in decline and no matter what Glenn Beck and country music songwriters say, hopefully the South Bay will rise above and vote for change. Incumbency is the problem. It breeds stagnation and corruption (even the WSAC accreditation team could see that). Money and special interests ARE the American system. We can only hope that the community votes for new ideas and weeds out the current crop of greedy, power hungry suckers on the community teat.— August 13, 2010 9:20 a.m.
