All-College Meeting: Accreditation Progress


.....Below is "part 1" of today's all-college meeting in which the IVC Accreditation "focus group" reported to, and solicited comments from, the IVC college community. (I will make "part 2" if there is any interest in seeing more of the meeting. This video covers only the first half hour of the meeting, which lasted about 90 minutes.)
.....The meeting was very well attended. It seemed to go well.
.....The video is edited down to the essential points that were made (during the first half hour). I do believe that those of the IVC community who could not attend today's meeting really should view the video. The information presented here is very important to the fate of our college.
.....The video starts with a minute and a half of the festive zaniness that unfolded in front of the IVC Student Services Center this morning: a Persian dancer, free food, a bagpipe player, etc.



.....Toward the end of the presentation (not included here), President Glenn Roquemore explained that a "consultant" will be secured to examine the college. He mentioned that, early on, he had misdescribed the consultant as a "processs..."—Glenn could not think of the rest of the phrase. Process "auditor," perhaps?
.....Glenn seemed to say that they hope to secure someone for the consultant job who had been the president of a local community college north of us. If he mentioned the name, I've forgotten it.
.....More later.

Did Glenn say anything about the case of the missing flags?

I'm sorry but how can anyone imagine that anything can really change as long as Mathur and the board continue to do what they do?

10:31 - Is that the "No we can't" speech?"

No, it's not the "No We Can't" speech it's just the I am so g-d discouraged speech it's hard to get my oar in the water.

I mean, we do, we do, we do - and they undo.

I am happy to keep doing - what other choice is there? But I also know what the end result is likely to be.

I mean, come on.

it's ok if you don't want to put your oar in the water. just don't be an anchor.

the rowers would appreciate that.

My oar has always been in the water but I understand the feelings expressed above as well.

You get tired of pouring yourself into reports and committee work that Mathur disgards or distorts.

It gets depressing and discouraging.
