Pros

Generally the staff and faculty are committed to Providing the students here are the quality education, increasing access, and approach every day in service to the college.

Cons

Deficits balloon, spending is cut on student services, critical staffing, and Deans/Directors are treated with a revolting lack of respect. Content experts with years of experience are dismissed out of hand, not invited to meetings that involve critical decisions about their areas responsibility, and have budgets they are not allowed to develop, manage or challenge. The priorities of this institution are so skewed towards athletics, haphazard and failing approaches to enrollment, and for years Deficits balloon, spending is it on student services, critical staffing, and dept. Deans and Directors are treated with a revolting lack of respect. Content experts with years of experience I just missed out of hand, not invited to meetings that involve critical decisions about their area responsibility, and are handed budgets that they are not allowed to manage or challenge. The priorities of this institution are so skewed towards athletics, haphazard approaches to enrollment, and an absolute paralysis in critical decision-making, leadership and financial management at the top.
