After months of crying “budget crisis!” to justify shrinking our curriculum, cancelling classes, laying off counselors, and cutting library hours, Chancellor Mark Rocha handed out
enormous raises to college administrators, increasing some salaries by over $100,000, and pushing the pay of Senior Vice Chancellors Tom Boegel, Dianna Gonzales, and Rueben Smith to
well over a quarter million dollars!In closed session at their August 22 meeting, the Board of Trustees secretly approved the chancellor’s proposal to use class cancellations and faculty layoffs to pay for outrageous raises to his administrative team.
Faculty and students are justifiably incensed, and we will not stand for it! AFT 2121 calls on all members to join us on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 11:00 a.m. at Conlan Hall to show our outrage and demand:
o An immediate, emergency meeting of the Board of Trustees Budget Committee
o Cancellation of these raises
o Redirection of these funds to:
- recall laid off counselors & instructors
- restore cancelled classes and library hours
