ARIZONA’S LARGEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT CUTS DIVERSITY INITIATIVES AMID TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PRESSURE

By R. Oliphant
Wednesday, March 5th, 2025

No public information about DEI changes at Yavapai Community College 

According to a March 4, 2025 article in the Arizona Republic by Helen Rummel, the Maricopa County Community College District is removing various diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives from its schools following increasing pressure from the Trump administration. The changes are being made to comply with guidance from the Office for Civil Rights within the U.S. Department of Education. A four-page letter  from the Office required schools to remove race-based programming by February 28 or risk losing federal funding. The letter was said to be an effort to clarify existing legal requirements under Title VI, the Equal Protection Clause, and other federal civil rights principles, but apparently does not carry the force of law.

Maricopa Community Colleges Chancellor Steven Gonzales announced that employee affinity groups, pronouns in email signatures, and all DEI and gender identity-related language will be removed from district materials. More changes may follow to comply with evolving requirements.

Employees are no longer to be able to use money from the district to attend any conferences or events focusing on DEI, including ones that center on race, identity or national origin. Employee groups focusing on race and identity would be removed, like affinity groups and the Diversity Advisory Council.

Websites for groups like HSI EXCELlence and the Black Student Union were removed, though student clubs are not impacted. Many DEI-related pages, including those on convocation ceremonies for diverse cultural backgrounds, were also taken down.

“As a public higher education institution, the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) must comply with all local, state, and federal laws, including recently issued enforcement priorities set forth by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights,” a Maricopa Community College district spokesperson said in a statement to The Arizona Republic.

“We recognize that these required changes may be disappointing to some of our students and employees. However, we remain committed to fostering a welcoming learning environment for all students as they pursue their educational goals.”

Yavapai Community College has not yet provided the public with any information regarding what action, if any, it has taken in regard to the Trump mandates.

YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROMISE PROGRAM SURPASSES $1 MILLION IN TUITION REIMBURSEMENTS, HELPING 600 STUDENTS GRADUATE DEBT-FREE OF TUITION

By R. Oliphant
Tuesday, March 4th, 2025

Program begun in 2019 provides full reimbursement for tuition if degree completed in two years

Yavapai Community College announced in a February press release that its Promise Program has provided over $1 million in tuition reimbursements since 2019. This initiative has helped more than 600 students graduate debt-free of tuition.

The Promise Program, based on the Tennessee Promise model, provides tuition reimbursement to eligible high school graduates and adult learners in Yavapai County. Students who complete their associate degrees within two years receive full reimbursement for tuition costs, allowing them to pursue their educational goals without incurring debt for tuition.

The program, launched in 2019 for high school graduates, expanded in 2022 to include the Workforce Promise. This addition offers tuition reimbursement for adult students pursuing one of 16 workforce-focused degrees in fields like nursing, radiology, and elementary education.

Yavapai Community College funds the Promise Program from external grants, which it says is intended to ensure its sustainability and independence.  However, it provided no details about the grantors.

MCCASLAND AND ALLIES BLOCK BOARD MEMBER KIEL FROM DISCUSSING A PROCEDURAL MOTION THROUGH WHAT SOME MIGHT CALL A CALCULATED MANIPULATIVE TACTIC

By R. Oliphant
Friday, February 28th, 2025

Universally accepted process followed at Board meetings of calling for discussion before voting on a motion was disregarded during the  February 18 Board meeting. This episode appears to be a part of an ongoing pattern of hostility specifically directed at Kiel by a majority on the Board

OPINION:  Some members of the Yavapai Community College District Governing Board seem to harbor a strong dislike for the newest elected member, William Kiel. (Most likely viewing him as asking too many questions; being too persistent, wanting greater transparency, and doesn’t necessarily agree with all their views.) That animosity became evident at the outset of the February 18 Board meeting when Kiel attempted to speak to  a motion before it had been voted on.  In response, the Chair McCasland employed a sleight-of-hand maneuver to pass the motion, bending procedure just enough to disguise what some feel was her real intent, which was to muzzle Kiel.

The procedural trickery unfolded when McCasland skipped the standard step of allowing discussion on a motion after it is seconded, opting instead to push for an immediate vote. When Kiel objected following the vote, the board attorney stepped in, suggesting to  the members who had hurriedly introduced and approved the motion to consider rescinding  it so there could be  discussion. Both flatly refused.

The treatment of Kiel  is perplexing because  it is universally understood that once a motion is made and seconded, board members are given an opportunity for discussion prior to  a final vote. In this instance, the expectation was even more unmistakable because Kiel had explicitly informed the chair in advance he wanted discussion.

Despite standard procedure and Kiel’s prior notice, the Governing Board Chair brazenly disregarded protocol at the February 18 meeting. The most obvious reason for this abrupt deviation is that Kiel is clearly not in Chair McCasland’s favor. Likewise, Board member Patrick Kuykendall’s refusal to rescind his second to the motion appears rooted in his personal disdain for Kiel.

The blatant dismissal of standard procedure in Kiel’s case raises serious concerns about the fairness and integrity of the Governing Board’s decision-making process. When procedural rules are selectively applied or ignored based on personal biases, it undermines the very principles of transparency and accountability that should guide the District Governing Board. If Board leadership is willing to bend the rules to silence a dissenting voice, it begs the question—what else are they willing to manipulate to maintain control?

A video clip of the incident appears below:

DURING FEBRUARY 18 BOARD MEETING NEWLY APPOINTED GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER PATRICK KUYKENDALL LAUNCHES VICIOUS ATTACK ON BOARD COLLEAGUE WILLIAM KIEL

By R. Oliphant
Wednesday, February 26th, 2025

Chair and attorney block Kiel from responding to the unwarranted behavior. Was the December appointment of Kuykendall a major mistake? 

OPINION: Fourth District Yavapai Community College District Governing Board member Patrick Kuykendall launched a vicious personal attack on First District Representative William Kiel during the February 18 Governing Board meeting. The outburst occurred amid a discussion on the authority and accountability of Yavapai’s president, Dr. Lisa Rhine, and the adoption of a resolution that vested virtually all power in her.

In his carefully controlled but angry tirade Kuykendall declared that he “wanted it on the record” that, in his view, Mr. Kiel had “made threats and been . . . disrespectful.” He further claimed, “I’ve sat on a lot of boards, and I’ve never been on a board with somebody with so much hate and discontent.” He provided no examples.

Not satisfied with his initial attack on Kiel, Kuykendall pressed on in anger saying:  “The reason we’re not in live meeting is when somebody mentions firearms and they’re unstable, it is a threat.”  Once again, he provided no examples to support his attack.  (See video clip.)

Mr. Kiel, clearly caught completely off guard by this stunning accusation, attempted to question the source of Kuykendall’s claim regarding “stability.” Yet, he was abruptly prevented from doing to  by the Board’s attorney and Chair Deb McCasland. (See video.)

Such an inflammatory and vicious public attack on a fellow Governing Board member is unwarranted and should immediately call into question Kuykendall’s fitness to serve on the Community College Governing Board. In my judgment, his appointment in December to the open Board seat in District 4 now appears to be a major mistake.  Given his discomfort and anger directed at Mr. Kiel, he  should resign.

A video clip of Mr. Kuykendall’s outburst in context follows below: A complete video of the meeting is available at the Community College’s Governing Board website.

FEDERAL JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKS DOGE FROM ACCESSING SENSITIVE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT INFORMATION – ORDER RUNS TO MARCH 10

By R. Oliphant
Monday, February 24th, 2025

Says Trump administration failed to provide sufficient justification for gaining access to the information

Federal judge Deborah Boardman on Monday, February 24, 2025 issued a temporary restraining order saying disclosure of the education department’s sensitive personal information to DOGE affiliates is irreparable harm that money damages cannot rectify.” She also said the Office of Personnel Management can’t disclose the information.

In her opinion, Judge Boardman wrote that “DOGE affiliates have been granted access to systems of record that contain some of the plaintiffs’ most sensitive data — Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, income and assets, citizenship status, and disability status — and their access to this trove of personal information is ongoing. There is no reason to believe their access to this information will end anytime soon because the government believes their access is appropriate.”

It should be noted that last week a federal judge in a related case refused to issue a restraining order restricting Musk’s team, finding that the group that brought the lawsuit had not shown that a group of students who had lodged similar complaints had suffered clear harm by having their data analyzed by affiliates of Mr. Musk.

FEAR AND SILENCE AT YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE: EMPLOYEES RISK TERMINATION FOR TALKING TO GOVERNING BOARD OR MEDIA

By R. Oliphant
Thursday, February 20th, 2025

Staff may face discipline even by giving out the date of a retirement party to the media

OPINION: At Yavapai Community College, President Dr. Lisa Rhine’s leadership has fostered a pervasive culture of fear among faculty and staff. Employees risk termination for as little as engaging with a District Governing Board member or responding to media inquiries—a directive Dr. Rhine has enforced with unmistakable clarity.

The chilling effect of President Rhine’s mandate is so profound that even a simple request for the date of a retirement celebration honoring a respected faculty member was denied—staff too fearful of jeopardizing their jobs to share basic information. This unfolded just last week when the Blog contacted the college  to inquire about the retirement of Linda Shook, the Associate Dean for the Sedona Center and Program Director for the Osher Lifelong Learning Program (OLLI). Shook, an exceptional leader and dedicated member of the college since 2019, will be a significant loss to the OLLI program.

The staff member contacted by the Blog was visibly apprehensive, unwilling to respond to the straightforward request for the date and time of Dean Shook’s retirement celebration. Citing institutional restrictions, she stated, “We cannot talk to blogs,” underscoring the atmosphere of fear and intimidation that now permeates the college.

Dr. Rhine has taken extraordinary steps to muzzle employees. She has reinforced her hardline stance through small-group meetings, formal letters to faculty and staff, and repeated warnings about the severe consequences of engaging with outsiders. During District Governing Board meetings, she has doubled down, making it clear that disciplinary action—including termination—awaits those who defy her directive.

With fear now the defining feature of Yavapai College’s work environment, open dialogue and transparency have become casualties of Dr. Rhine’s authoritarian media-Governing  Board mandate.

SHROUDED IN SECRECY, GOVERNING BOARD CHAIR MCCASLAND CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHY A TYPICAL LIVE BOARD MEETING AT THE ROCKHOUSE ON THE PRESCOTT CAMPUS IS “UNSAFE”

By R. Oliphant
Thursday, February 20th, 2025

Secret 15 to 20 minute meeting held February 18 on the safety issue with no information made public afterwards:   Should students and the public be worried?

The Yavapai Community College Governing Board’s first order of business at its February 18 meeting was to call a secret executive session to discuss “Facility Safety and Security Measures.” Only three of the five Governing Board members attended the secret meeting in addition to College president Dr. Lisa Rhine.

The closed-door session, allegedly “ hosted” by Rhine, lasted approximately 15 minutes and the topic was “facility safety.”  When the attendees emerged from the session, they were smiling. However, not a word was uttered about the supposed campus safety claim being made by Chair Deb McCasland.

Notably, before Tuesday’s Board meeting, McCasland claimed in an email sent to the Governing Board members that she had learned of “safety concerns related to our board meetings.” The concerns, whatever they were,  appeared so serious to her that she switched the February 18 live meeting from the Rock House on the Prescott Campus to one on zoom.

Despite the change, McCasland has continued to withhold from the public any information about the alleged safety concerns. 

Deepening the mystery, at least two District Governing Board members had sought an explanation or evidence from McCasland to substantiate her safety concern claim prior to Tuesday’s secret executive meeting. Yet, even when directly asked  via email by them for facts, she rejected the request.

The entire mystery surrounding the public facility safety claim isn’t just unusual—it’s deeply unsettling to students at Yavapai Community College and the public.

FEDERAL FUNDING UNCERTAINTY LOOMS OVER YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE WITH POTENTIAL UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE OF TRUMP/MUSK DOGE INVOLVEMENT

By R. Oliphant
Thursday, February 20th, 2025

Will existing contracts and grants with the Federal Government be cut? Or eliminated?  Will DOGE cause Hispanic student enrollment to plumet?  Will student loan and the Pell grant programs be reduced or eliminated?

COMMENTARY:  The actions by the Trump administration’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may have a significant impact on the operations of Yavapai Community College. There is concern because DOGE is already taking away millions of dollars in existing  grants and contracts from various educational institutions. In addition to this concern, the Trump administration has mandated that educational institutions eliminate anything that directly or indirectly might be linked to what are commonly called “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)” programs or projects.

Are Yavapai Community College’s  $12 million in federal contracts and grants in jeopardy?

Yavapai Community College’s $126 million annual budget includes $12.3 million in federal grants and contracts for the current academic year. About $7.25 million has already been spent by January 2025. Will these funds be affected? The answer is unclear. 

To date, the administration with the assistance of DOGE unexpectedly cut approximately $1 billion from the U.S. Department of Education’s research office. The impact of those cuts has been immediate in some areas of the country. For example, at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, Minnesota, DOGE canceled a previously approved grant program that was supporting 185 students pursuing careers in special education. The $6.8 million grant to St. Thomas was deemed a DEI initiative and subsequently eliminated as part of the administration’s broader crackdown on DEI-related programs. Students in the affected program had been receiving between $10,000 and $20,000 per year in scholarship aid to help cover tuition costs.

St. Thomas is appealing the decision, noting that a DEI statement was required when applying for the grant funds, even though the training, or at least most of it, did  not necessarily involve DEI.

It remains unclear whether any teacher education programs or other initiatives at Yavapai College might be considered DEI projects and, therefore, subject to similar funding cuts. Major  cuts in federal funds could have  devastating consequences.

Yavapai must also worry about any aspect of its operation that involves race, even tangentially. In a letter sent  Friday, February 14 the New York Times reported that the Federal Education Department warned that colleges risk losing federal funding if they continue to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions, or considered  race in “all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.”

On Monday, February 17  the Education Department said it had canceled $600 million in grants focused on training teachers in “inappropriate and unnecessary topics” such as critical race theory, social justice activism, antiracism and “instruction on white privilege.”

Additionally, the future of federal support for Yavapai Community College is even more uncertain if the Department of Education is eliminated as promised by DOGE.

Concerns Over a Possible Decline in Hispanic Student Enrollment;  23% of Yavapai’s Student Body Hispanic

Another concern among educators is a potential drop in enrollment among Hispanic students created by DOGE.  Yavapai Community College reports that 23% of its student body is made up of Hispanic students.

The possible large drop in enrollment is linked to DOGE gaining access to millions of student records and concern over how this information is used. For instance, there are questions about whether student grant application information, which is completed by almost all students,  could be shared by  DOGE with immigration authorities. It is feared that the information, if shared, could be used to assist immigration authorities in locating a student’s grandparents or other relatives who may be undocumented but have been living  in the country for decades.

As rumors and uncertainty apparently spreads through Hispanic communities, it is already being reported that families are not  sending their children to school. For example, in Memphis, Tennessee,  one person described the climate as one of fear and hesitation in the Hispanic community, stating, “Everybody is terrified. They’re scared to come out.”

The same level of fear was reported in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

That fear has apparently intensified following newspaper reports this past week that DOGE gained access to a federal database containing personal details on millions of students and parents participating in the federal student loan program.

It is unclear whether the rumors and stories regarding  how DOGE might use community college federal student grant and loan applications have reached or will affect  the Hispanic college-eligible community in Yavapai County.  As noted earlier, Hispanic students currently make up about 23% of Yavapai’s student body.

Will DOGE’s policies lead to a significant decline in Hispanic enrollment next fall? While the answer remains uncertain, the concern is real. The consequences could be significant.

The Future of Pell Grants and Federal Student Loans

Another related concern pertains to the federal student loan and grant program. Notably, approximately 20% of Yavapai Community College students depend on Pell Grants, a vital source of financial aid for low-income undergraduate students. Unlike federal student loans, Pell Grants do not require repayment, except under specific circumstances.

There’s concern that DOGE might reclassify the student grant/loan programs as DEI initiatives or change funding and eligibility, limiting student access. Reducing or eliminating these financial support programs would significantly impact Yavapai Community College, which heavily relies on them.

Worst-case scenario.

For now, uncertainty reigns in Washington, D.C. and at educational institutions throughout the nation. With chaos unfolding at the federal level and threats to close the Department of Education, Yavapai Community College—like many institutions—finds itself in a precarious position, waiting to see what will happen and whether it can weather the storm that may be coming.

If Hispanic student enrollment declines sharply and federal contracts and grants are reduced, Yavapai Community College could face a severe financial crisis. To remain viable, the college may need to implement substantial tuition increases, raise Yavapai County’s primary tax rate—an action requiring only three votes from its five-member governing board—and cut costs by increasing class sizes while reducing faculty and staff positions. In a more drastic measure, the college might even revisit the idea of selling the Sedona Center, a possibility it explored around 2014–15.

Ideally, these concerns will subside, the rumors and speculation will prove unfounded, and conditions will stabilize—an outcome that serves everyone’s best interests.

THE EXHIBITION TITLED “SUSTAINABLE ART” WILL SHOWCASE ARTWORKS MADE FROM REPURPOSED MATERIALS FROM FEBRUARY 25 THROUGH MARCH 27 AT THE PATTY MCMULLEN-MIKLES GALLERY ON THE VERDE CAMPUS.

By R. Oliphant
Tuesday, February 18th, 2025

Opening reception on Thursday, March 6th, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

The Patty McMullen-Mikles art Gallery on the Verde Campus will host a unique exhibit starting February 25 and running until March 27.  An opening reception for the exhibit, Sustainable Art, will be held Thursday, March 6 from 5 – 7 p.m.

The gallery is open to the public Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through March 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Note: The Gallery will be closed for Spring Break March 17 – 21. For more information about Sustainable Art or the McMullen-Mikles Gallery, please call (928) 649-5479.

A Community College press release described the exhibit as part of a movement to create new art from old or repurposed materials. This concept is known as Sustainable Art.

According to the press release, “Sustainable Art celebrates works created with sustainable practices. Metal Sculptor Paul Klaine selected 15 artists to exhibit a diverse range of artwork made from eco-friendly, up-cycled and recycled materials. The result is exciting mix of Collage, Mixed Media, Assemblage pieces and more.”

“A Southern California native, Paul Klaine specializes in scrap metal sculptures. His affection for metal sculpting began when his parents gave him a MIG welder as a gift more than 25 years ago. He began building and selling sculptures at art festivals, specializing in animal sculptures, authentic lamps and taxidermy wall pieces. Paul now lives in Prescott, where he is represented by the Ian Russell Gallery of Fine Art, and builds commission pieces derived from old car, motorcycle and bicycle parts for clients and collectors all over the world.”

The reception on March 6 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. is free and open to the public. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be provided, and wine will be available for purchase from the Southwest Wine Center.

DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD SETS MEETING FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18 TO BEGIN AT 1 P.M. AND MAY RUN TO ABOUT 4:00 P.M.

By R. Oliphant
Saturday, February 15th, 2025

Meeting moved to Zoom instead of being held live at Prescott Campus Rock House as mystery deepens over Chair’s sudden ‘safety concerns’—without explanation

The Yavapai Community College District Governing Board will hold a meeting on Tuesday, February 18, via YouTube. The meeting was originally scheduled to take place at the Rock House on the Prescott Campus. However, Board Chair Deb McCasland abruptly changed the format to a virtual Zoom meeting, informing the Board in part that “after learning of safety concerns related to our board meetings,” she “decided that governing board meetings will be held virtually until further notice.”

The alleged “safety concerns” remain a complete mystery, as McCasland has steadfastly refused to disclose any details to Governing Board members or the public.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. and is expected to conclude by 4 p.m. A live stream will likely be available at https://www.youtube.com/user/YavapaiCollege.

It appears the first order of business will be a closed executive session, which may pertain to the undisclosed safety concerns that prompted the abrupt transition to a virtual format. The meeting notice for this session states:

Executive Session:
i. A.R.S. §38-431.03(A)(8) and §38-431.03(A)(9) – Discussion and consultation with college representatives regarding facility safety and security measures. – PROCEDURAL {Time: 20}.

The only other agenda item of likely interest to most county residents is a discussion titled:

“Upholding Yavapai College District Governing Board Resolution Reaffirming Delegation of Authority and Accountability to the President – Resolution 2024-18” – Board Chair Deb McCasland.

Notably, there is no call to the public on the agenda.

Under Arizona law, the public has the right to attend, listen, record, or videotape the meeting, provided they do not disrupt the proceedings. For more information on these rights, refer to Arizona Attorney General Opinion No. I78-001.
