Public Records Suggest Southwestern College Used Public Funds Frivolously
hey 'truth' - even the handle you have chosen is reminiscent of the same Orwellian hypocrisy in common use by the current SWC board and president. Goes along with 'students first' and 'working together.' Yeah right. I'll tell you where I've heard real truth, and it was during a board meeting! Naturally this was not while one of the folks up on the dais was speaking. Instead, it was during the literally hours of testimony from concerned faculty, staff, students and community members. Each person was allowed only three minutes, so it was emotional overload to hear so many people relate how SWC's troubles were affecting them - students unable to get the classes they needed, retired professors now ashamed of the school at which they spent so many years, and staff speaking up at risk of their jobs. We are not a few malcontents, nor are we controlled by the unions. We are the ones speaking truth. And the truth is - unless we vote out the current board, SWC will lose its accreditation, because the current board is not getting the job done.— October 25, 2010 8:09 a.m.

This is how the president of the college and the governing board act while the college is on probation! Instead of working together to fix the problems of the college and hopefully ensure accreditation, they are instead only concerned with spending the taxpayer's money to have a party to congratulate each other for their misdeeds. Meanwhile, vital accreditation issues are not being addressed. It would be comic, were it not for the thousands of young folks in the south bay who depend on Southwestern to give them a stepping stone to a better future. The board (except for the one guy, Nick Aguilar, who stuck his neck out to bring this issue to light), the president, and his cronies disgust me. If those folks aren't voted out this election, I think you can say goodbye to having a community college in the south bay.— October 22, 2010 10:05 a.m.
