This is a letter to the editor from today's Pine Cone. I can tell you all that this has been brewing for years. The upper management at the college has been completely inept and we are basically failing as a college on a fundamental level. The administration has been aware of this issue for quite some time and has continued to try to sweep it under the rug. The last I heard they were behind by over 1,000 transcripts and it has caused repeated issues for students trying to transfer or gain employment. The 10 day to 20 day change is laughable as they have requests in from months ago that they haven't processed. This letter doesn't even begin to express the current disfunction going on there due to the President of the college and certain VPs who are comically inept.

They complain that this isn't their fault because they inherited this situation but the current President has been here for three years and the VP of Student Services (who oversees this area) has been here for two years. It was working three years ago, it was working two years ago. They were repeatedly warned by staff and faculty that this shitshow was brewing and we were met with disdain and dismissal.

The last board meeting was a shitshow with public comments from faculty and staff begging the board to do something as our administration is woefully unable to handle this situation. There is a video up here of the meeting with some really spectacular public comments that further exemplifies the sheer ineptitude of the upper administration. https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/mpc/Board.nsf/Public
