[Occupymendocino] C.R.

[Mark Safron]

From Anya:
Below is a link to an article about the current CR president Kathy Smith and her previous occupations. She was actually working for Mendocino College before CR. Also, she was recently married which is why her name is Smith now and no longer Lehner.

1. The dean position at the Mendocino campus is being eliminated. This means that our current dean, whose contract ends June 1st, will not be replaced. 

2. CR's custodian, maintenance man, lab tech, library tech, and
administrative office assistant were all laid off. Their last day will
be January 31st.

3. Out of the five layoffs listed in #2 everyone except the
administrative office assistant has the option of being rehired, but
their hours will be reduced from full time to 19 hours a week and they
will no longer receive benefits.

4. Our financial aid officer is retiring at the end of the year, and she
is not being replaced. She will be coming back very part time in the
spring semester, but beyond this there is no plan to provide a new
financial aid officer.

5. Our IT person is retiring at the end of this fall semester, and he is
not being replaced. This means we will have no one to repair computers or help with technical problems.

6. Out of the 38 layoffs district wide, five of them took place on our
little campus.

7. Please get the word out that people can contact Barbara Rice, the
trustee for the Mendocino Coast, at barbrice at mcn.org.They can also
contact CR's President Kathy Smith at kathy-smith at redwoods.edu. The more people that contact these two women with their concerns on this issue the more attention it will get.
