If anyone is going to PGC meeting today....

Some public comments that we can make as examples of Administration’s failure to foster respect on campus

• Students employees are still being paid less than San Francisco's minimum wage.
  
  
• While teacher’s were making painful concessions at the negotiating table last fall, they found out later that at the same time the administration was offering new administrators inflated salaries substantially above approved pay scales.
  
  
• A very condescending and disrespectful letter to the president of the faculty union was posted on the CCSF home page for two weeks.
  
  
• The Special Trustee With Extraordinary Powers continues to refuse to hold open and public board meetings where public comment can be offered and recorded.
  
  
• Instead of being willing to meet and talk with students, the administration chose to have police officers with questionable orders "greet" them when they come to Conlan Hall to peacefully protest.
  
  
• In the Chancellor’s press release of March 14, 2014, he publicly accused students of being violent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
  
  
• In the same press release, the chancellor credits the STWEP with successfully negotiating employment agreements for all bargaining units. However, the district remains in very difficult and contentious labor negotiations with the Department Chair Council.
  
  
• In the same press release, the chancellor credits the STWEP with suspending construction of new facilities and redirecting funds to refurbish existing buildings. In fact there was absolutely no fiscal reason to cancel the Performing Arts Education Center and furthermore, it was a betrayal of the San Francisco voters. A question remains whether that redirection of the bond funds was even legal.
  
  
• The administration has continued to participate in a completely non-transparent and potentially illegal accreditation process that has been used to completely reorganize the college, downsize it, reduce democratic structures and install outsiders who have no idea of the history, values or culture of CCSF.
  
  
• The administration has failed to challenge the abuse of power by the ACCJC and demand that the ACCJC comply with the law, their own guidelines and regulations of the  U.S. Department of Education.
