Explains that while there is not equality between the two sides of the County, the needs and population are different
Yavapai Community College President Dr. Lisa Rhine conceded during the January 28 District Governing Board workshop at the Prescott Valley Center that there was not equality between the east and west sides of the County, which is divided by Mingus Mountain. However, she assured the District Governing Board that the College is meeting the needs of the citizens on the east side. “They are just different,” she said.
She also explained that from her perspective “Equity is about giving people the things that they need. Not giving people the same thing on both sides of the mountain.”
