Give me a break! She just started in the position, all the broken materials, inadequate equipments, and unfriendly handicapped campus was there before she became president of the college. Public education, especially higher education is under funded.

Student retention and full time enrollment is a problem that higher education school (public or private) faces.

All of the new hired employees are great steps for the college. By having International or Study Abroad programs at a university bring exposure to the school. Students complain no matter what! She could have been the best president out there and you’d still hear students complain. I’m a member of the Cabinet in Student Government Association at my University, and student complain day in and day out. All students, secretaries, and some faculty members do is talk about it, they do not dare being about it! My University president has been in the position for 20 years and I can confirm that we have tons of work to do around the campus. A University president does not have time to participate in what goes on in the classroom. If requests are not being made to the school finance committee by the appropriate department chair to replace broken materials, the president cannot be responsible for that. If the school finance committee does not deem something is worth spending the money on at the moment that they would rather spend it on something more important. The college population just have to accept the Governing body decision!

Everything cost money at a University. This is the place where the communities take the most advantage of. One speaker can cost over $ 100,000 just for three hours. To host an event it cost an arm and a leg: you have the lightning, camera, sound, cleaning, catering, performance, etc… each of these company have their own employees to pay. $ 100,000 for her inaugural is nothing!

Why is she the only one being scrutinized when she is not the sole decision maker of the Governing body? I hope she doesn’t let those people who cannot accept the fact that she is qualify and capable to do the job make her resign. That is what they are after!

You know what they said about publicity, there’s no such thing as bad publicity! Bring me that evaluation five years down the line and I’ll consider looking at it.
