"How could they tell?"

That’s four of the seven board members.
No doubt the “union boys”—well, they are mostly male—are on top of this.
I don’t talk to ‘em much.
Judging by occasional reports, Bill Jay is in poor health. He’s missed the last three or four board meetings. I’d be surprised if he were to run for reelection.
I’ve heard that Dave Lang is tired of the trustee gig, which he's held since 1996, but that’s little more than a rumor, I guess. (I'm sure as hell tired of him.) One wonders why he would want to stay on; if anyone is the “odd man out” on the board, it is Lang—excepting Tom Fuentes of course, whose seat will surely be open for 2012, for he's terminally ill.

Union-friendly trustees TJ Prendergast and Marcia Milchiker won’t be up for reelection until 2014.
Looks like, for the SOCCCD, the election of 2012 will be of the "make or break" variety. We say that with each election, but this one really is different, what with possibly three contested seats sans incumbent.
Of course, Tom Fuentes could pass at any time, and he is likely to do so well before November. (I should know better than to try to predict that guy's expiration date.) If that happens, the board will have to deal with an empty seat; the process would likely produce a replacement and that replacement would be reelected, owing to his/her incumbent status. So Battle #1 will likely occur starting with Fuentes' passing. Battle #2 will be the 2012 campaign for the remaining one or two seats: Jay's and perhaps Lang's (if Lang drops out). (I'm assuming that the union, like me, is OK with Meldau. Don't really know.)

That'll be good for the college crowd.
But what do I know?

How would you feel about having a retired faculty member on the board? I live in Jay's district. I'd vow to shine a light on IVCs many problems.
Come on bvd, you know Obummer, ya know that stinky socialist, is going down in Nov.
Such a person--a retired faculty member--should contact the union folks--people like Lewis Long at IVC.
I see we have an intellectually challenged little fellow using a cute term (Obummer) which is a sure clue that the tyke is feeding off of his parents, probably Republicans, and pretending to have some sort of cerebral cortex.
Unless it's someone pretending to be a sub cretinous fungi who is stirring up the proverbial pot for some fun.
The problem with our little troll is that, if you delete his blatherings, he merely increases their frequency. It is best to say nothing and to hope that he drools himself to sleep.
If you argue with him, he argues back, and you really don't want that. His counterpunches are shitballs. I don't want no shitballs on my blog.
How many times has IVC's A-100 been re-modeled in the last five years? Can we move our classrooms in there and can they move their offices into the A-200 and A-300 buildings? Please? pretty please?
A100 looks like a rat maze.
BoT elections are something faculty members--and faculty unions--should be involved in. We have a chance to elect our own bosses.
Last year and 100 miles down the road from you, we spent lots of time and money to elect a new board majority. Our local incarnation of the Goo is gone, along with his main henchmen/hitmen, faculty are actually a part of decision-making, and things are much, much, MUCH better on campus.
Try it. You'll like it!
rumor has it that arlene greer, who ran agains jay last time and got over 100,000 votes is going to run again. a former member of Newport Beach's Environmental Quality Affairs committee, she now serves on the Newport Beach Arts Commission.
Believe me, Phil, we've mounted our share of campaigns to rid the district of lousy bosses. But we're a big district, and it's hard to get everybody on the same page. No doubt our union has thought through what needs to be done. And the Prez is a smart guy. But the larger a group is, the more it behaves like a dolt.
Last time around, Greer was supported by the likes of Fuentes, Royce, and Bryson--a very bad lot. She's obviously connected to the usual right-wing suspects, which means she'll have money (if she runs).
Maybe Arlene's related to Phil?
Come on guys get with it. Arlene Greer is Phil Greer's wife. It's Chinatown.
Yes, it's Chinatown, although Arlene makes no effort to hide that she's married to Phil.
have you seen arlene, she is georgeous, why she hangs out with phil is the question of the decade
What is the "Environmental Affairs Committee"? Sounds a bit Orwellian.
No bvd, it would be China Town only if Arlene was also Phil's daughter and gave birth to their son, Raghu
As to a retired faculty member serving on the BOT. Maybe. Depends on the person. Some, I suspect, would be meddling since the individual knows too much about one or both colleges and district. Bob Bliss would probably have made a good, disinterested BOT member if he had been elected.
in newport the environmental affairs committee is the group appointed by the city council to recommend things like a ban on leaf blowers and smoking on the beach. bunch of commies
1:42, Even better if she gave birth to quintuplets: Raghu, Chris Street, John Williams, and Tom Fuentes.
Yeah she's pretty hot. I bet she's no good in bed.
China Town - Incest.
