......The December meeting of the South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees is coming up (Monday night, 6:30).......The meeting’s “agenda outline” is available at Board Outlines.
......Monday's meeting is liable to be wild and wacky, what with ATEP development deadlines looming and the continued FUBAR concerning the Chancellor’s
re the 50% law (which requires that at least half of expenditures be on instruction). PLUS…WORLD-CLASS F*CK-UP
THE ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING: ......As you know, it is in December that the board holds it’s annual “organizational meeting”—a meeting-within-a-meeting. The word is that Dave "the Quisling" Lang is sick and tired of presiding over Chancellor MATHUR and this dysfunctional board.
......But who’s willing to take on the board presidency?
…...Wagner? Could be.
MORE EVALS:
......Prior to the open session, of course, is the super-secret closed session (starting at 3:00). It looks like the board might continue its evaluation and reappointment of administrators. Saddleback College President Rich McCullough isn’t listed, of course, since he recently announced his “retirement,” to take effect in June. In truth, he insisted on really being the president of his college, and Mathur just couldn't abide that, so he drew a target on McCullough's forehead.…...That's the persistent story, anyway, and nobody who knows Raghu Mathur would doubt it.
…...Among “consent calendar” items is Saddleback College’s popular “study abroad” trip to Santander, Spain. When that one comes up, there’s always a chance that Trustee Fuentes will say something incredibly stupid. Let’s hope so, cuz these board meetings can be way snoozular.
......The discussion of the 50% Law fiasco is scheduled for the end of the meeting. That could be interesting. It is no secret that Mathur’s failure to understand that law whilst spending BIG on ATEP has put us between a rock and a hard place. Meanwhile, there are indications that negotiations between SOCCCD, Camelot, and the City of Tustin or going badly. It is conceivable that the plug will be pulled on the Deluxe Edition of ATEP. (If that happens, it will be because Mathur is incompetent, not because ATEP was a bad idea.) But who knows. ....One “discussion item” is listed, and it’s pretty funny:
6.1 Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College: Languages in a Flat World
Luckily, on the agenda, Mathur explains item 6.1:
Information presented by Dr. Craig Justice, Vice President of Instruction, Irvine Valley College and Dr. Rajen Vurdien, Vice President for Instruction, Saddleback College, on the importance of languages in a flat world.Oh.

Chunk, probably worth some investigating but apparently, Andreea Serban is sticking her paws & interfering with every bit of college business she can, even calling her own college meetings.
She seems to be very arrogant and she is now doing Goo's bidding.
Goo sucks!
Let's not blame the pending failure of ATEP entirely on Raghu. Bob Kopecky is a mess. Anyone who spends more than 30 minutes with the guy knows that he's a preening, empty suit.
I've been around Kopecky plenty, and he seems perfectly competent to me. Raghu, on the other hand, is manifestly incompetent and corrupt.
You are a poor judge of character, 1:05. Kopecky couldn't lead himself out of a paper sack. Hell, he has a difficult time picking his nose. The only saving grace is his administrators - without them, ATEP would collapse.
but it's a NICE suit!
