Senators :
The Senate has received a “Public Records Act” request from the SOCCC District lawyers, asking the IVC Faculty Senate to provide any and all public documents and/or records reflecting Senate discussion and actions pertaining to IVC Faculty Senate’s support of the Saddleback Faculty Senate’s resolution regarding prayer. Based on our legal obligations, the Senate has complied.• Meanwhile, our pals at Save Our Southwestern College seem to think that things are heating up in their bordertown version of the “life among Neanderthals” saga:
Accreditation News: Town Hall Meeting Tonight
Late yesterday, Superintendent/President Raj K. Chopra issued a memo announcing that the college has received the much-anticipated report from the Accreditation Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.UPDATE:
The college has not yet publicly posted the accreditation report, but a "Town Hall" meeting has been scheduled to discuss the results. The meeting will be held at 5:00 p.m. today on the main campus in Room L238 N&S (across from the library).
In other news, the Governing Board took no action at its recent special meeting to evaluate Chopra. Meanwhile, an online survey (see previous post) has gone out to all faculty.
Stay tuned!
Looks like the ACCJC spanked 'em good:
Southwestern College on Probation
Check out the Action Letter. Reminds me of some letters our colleges have received.
Pretty serious.

Thank god for ACCJC and DTB!!! I wonder what IVC report will look like?! I can't wait!
Go read the public heated comments posted at: http://www.ocregister.com/news/mathur-231052-college-valley.html
Here is a sample comment that I found VERY interesting:
No platoscave1, a JD with NO administrative experience whatsoever does not qualify for an administrative position that REQUIRES a Ph.D. And YEARS of administrative experience. The Chancellor was correct to exclude her. Isn’t it also a coincidence that this woman and Wagner are both attorneys and she was given the position and got her own shiny-new office even before it was finally decided? Do you smell Brown Act here? Obviously this action is a case of “board micromanagement,” something the anti-Mathur gang (including this woman) has been screaming about for years, but why aren’t they now crying fowl? Very suspect indeed. It was my understanding that “board micromanagement” was the single most important item that hampered the colleges when it came to accreditation renewals. Looks like more of the same. I see a double standard here. Why isn’t the Register digging more into this?
I wish SWC all the best - good luck! You're going to need it - that is, sadly, how it goes.
"crying fowl" - hee hee hee! or should I say - Cluck cluck cluck!
Raghu or Ray or whoever you are - please proofread!
Good for the ACCJC - for once.
"Crying fowl" seems appropriate. Raghu's a lame duck.
