<DIV dir=ltr>I cannot attend the meeting with Barbara Rice to discuss the problems at College of the Redwoods, but I watched the video from San Francisco State JC and am wondering if the ACCJC (The accrediting commission) had sanctioned our school. I seem to remember they had to rise above some criticisms from a body like this. Now there are more layoffs and closures, so why is our campus being punished instead of helped? What is the plan to make this a more robust program for students and instructors? What about our Marine Science department? Things have really declined since Greg Grantham retired, and Teresa Sholars was an excellent teacher, but is she still there? They did something awful to Bob Rhoades, who was a respected art and pottery instructor a few years ago. What about the Prop 20 funding that we voted on to save our schools? This decline in our college is very disturbing. I look forward to a report after you meet with these officials. Ann<BR> <BR>

The Library was shut down; the Bookstore was closed. Services were limited. Positions in administration were planned to /not/ be renewed for next school year. I've known for months that bits and pieces have been being chewed off of the Coast campus and students have been struggling to get an education.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Now there is information that (some) C/R property is being marketed as RENTAL!!!<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> So?what's really going on??<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> In my personal experience, as a AA graduate of Fort Bragg C/R, I remember even /waaaaay back then/ the frustration of not being able to really piece together a schedule of classes that made efficient use of my time as a student and that the support from Eureka was inconsistent or was provided via benign neglect.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Now, many years into the future it appears the C/R in Fort Bragg is being scavenged and undermined by the administration in Eureka via lay offs, eliminating services and not making a full true junior college class offering available.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Fort Bragg needs a junior college to make the path to university possible for young people who are not wealthy. I don't understand why the Fort Bragg city government hasn't gotten actively involved with developing a plan or pressuring Eureka to do much, much better with its Coast obligations.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> It makes /me/ mad!! How do you feel??<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> A group of graduating students are organizing a street rally 4 May -- 11 to 1 on Highway One where you turn to go to CR or Harvest Market to bring attention to this continuing degradation of the Coast C/R. These students are demonstrating because they want to help the people still going to school at the college and are struggling to make a degree program and because they want to see a college continue on the Coast. That's pretty honorable isn't it?? They could easily just graduate and walk away - they are finished at C/R but they are trying to keep a school for present and future young people trying to get an education and make better lives for themselves and their families.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Let's try to help them!!<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list send an email to<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="mailto:occupymendocino@lists.mcn.org">occupymendocino@lists.mcn.org</A><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN>put "Un-Subscribe me" in the Subject.<BR>><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> For listserv technical problems please contact:<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="mailto:listmanager@mcn.org">listmanager@mcn.org</A><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV> </div></body>
