COCONINO COUNTY VOTERS AGREE TO INCREASE PRIMARY PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR COCONINO COMMUNITY COLLEGE

By R. Oliphant
Monday, July 4th, 2022

Approval means millions of additional program dollars for expanding and enhancing the College offerings

The District Governing Board of Coconino Community College called an election that was  held on May 17, 2022 to request voter authorization to reset the primary property tax rate for the College to 0.7419 cents per $100 of limited property value. The voters approved the measure by a large margin.  The action was taken to change the percentage of property taxes to support the college, which  was the lowest offered to any community college district in the state of Arizona until this vote.

The action taken by the Governing Board became possible when former state Senator Sylvia Allen, brought forward an amendment to state law in 2018 that was approved.  It  allowed Coconino County voters to be asked by the College Governing Board to support an increase to their primary property tax rate in order to bring the college somewhat closer to parity with other community colleges in the state. The governing board decided during a December 2021 meeting to put the primary tax rate increase to a special May 2022 vote.

The new funding made possible by voter approval is intended for a large number of programs including:

Initiate new career, technical education and training programs that prepare Coconino County residents for jobs in Coconino County.

Develop new programs to support veterans’ training for civilian jobs.

Develop new programs to train and re-train Coconino County workers, in collaboration with Coconino County employers and expand current job training programs.

Expand career and technical training degree and certificate programs in the following areas:

o      Additional Healthcare Programs

o      Ultrasound/Sonography Technician

o      Surgical Technician

o      Respiratory Therapist

o      Anesthesia Technician

o      Electric Car and Charging Station Technician

o      Manufacturing Technology

o      Police Academy

o      Paramedic

Continue and expand career and technical education programs established with one-time funding:

o      Automotive Technology

o      CDL (Truck Driving)

o      Early Childhood Education Certificate (Preschool Teachers)

o      Assisted Living Caregiver Certificate

o      Google IT Support Professional Certificate

o      Amazon Web Services Certificate

o      Cyber Security Associate of Applied Science

o      Increased Number of Students in Nursing Program

o      Marine Maintenance Technician

o      Welding Certification

o      Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)

Expand the scholarship program

Enhance educational services throughout Coconino County, including communities such as Page, Tuba City and Williams

YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE’S POOR RELATIONSHIP WITH CAMP VERDE HIGHLIGHTED IN DEAN REDD’S RESIGNATION LETTER

By R. Oliphant
Friday, July 1st, 2022

Says that  “interactions with Camp Verde are regularly looked upon with suspicion”

It is well known among most close observers of Yavapai Community College that its relationship with the town of Camp Verde has been less than ideal.  Dr. Tina Redd reflected on some of the  problems she faced that involved Camp Verde during her short term as Dean of the Sedona Center/Verde Campus.  In her resignation letter to President Dr. Lisa Rhine She wrote:

“I was falsely accused of inviting Camp Verde Mayor, Dee Jenkins, to speak at the Skilled Trades Center opening in March 2021.  . . ..

“The strained relations with Camp Verde, partly due to an incident involving Rodney Jenkins that happened before I was hired, continue to cloud and undermine interactions with city officials, yet I am charged with supporting every municipality in the Verde Valley.  Interactions with Camp Verde are regularly looked upon with suspicion.” 

The strained relationship referred to by Dr. Redd has a long history.  Recall that around 2010 the Community College closed down the leased facilities it operated in Camp Verde.  The College  claimed at the time that student numbers  there was not sufficient to continue, especially when the College was allegedly facing a financial crisis of sorts.  Although the College recovered from its alleged financial crisis, little attention has been paid to Camp Verde since 2010.

The more recent relationship between the College and Camp Verde is checkered.  Back in 2020-21 the town was hopeful that the College would locate its Career and Technical education facility in a structure located on highway 260 rather than build on the Verde Campus. They argued that the site was a more centralized location that would allow easy access for Mingus Union, Sedona and Camp Verde students to train in Career and Technical education courses.    Although the College made overtures to lease space in a structure on 260, it was unsuccessful. It eventually completely rejected the 260 location idea and chose to build ilt a small CTE facility on the Verde Campus.

More recently, Third District Represent Representative Paul Chevalier was chastised by some Governing Board members at the January 29, 2022 District Governing Board Workshop for suggesting that the “College is not really dong anything for Camp Verde.”

At a March 2022 closed door meeting with local politicians and the College, Camp Verde offered free teaching space to the Community College at a structure it had purchased or was considering purchasing on highway 260.  Nothing more is known about the offer.

The Community College is well aware of the poor relationship between it and Camp Verde and has taken some steps, it appears, to improve it.  For example, at the May 2022 meeting of the Yavapai College District Governing Board, the College administration announced it was seeking a $600,000 grant from the federal governing to fund the purchase of trucks with some of them going to Camp Verde, apparently for a truck driving school.  No decision on this request will be made in Washington apparently until spring, 2023.  Moreover, the College has not made public plans for a truck driving school in Camp Verde.

VERDE VALLEY CAMPUS CAFE TO TRY NEW APPROACH

By R. Oliphant
Wednesday, June 29th, 2022

Will exclude from menu  all things frozen and fried, instead offering grilled cheese and other specialty sandwiches and salads, coffee and pastries

The effort to operate a Café/restaurant on the Verde Campus has a checkered history of starts, stops and closings.  When it reopens this year, most likely for fall semester, it will try something different. 

According to a news release issued by the College on June 22, 2022, it will now operate the Café/restaurant on the Verde Campus as a “laboratory for aspiring culinary artists and entrepreneurs as well as a showcase for the vegetables and herbs that horticulture students cultivate in an one-campus greenhouse.” 

It has hired an experienced restaurateur, Kelley Foy, to direct the operation.  She will be the manager and instructor for the “reimagined café.” The new café is “dubbed YCGC for YC Grilled Cheese.”

In its press release, the College says that “even while pursuing her passion for designing custom furniture and serving as the gelato chef for Merkin Vineyards in the Verde Valley, Kelley decided to tackle creating the teaching restaurant for YC because she loves cooking, loves teaching and believes hands-on experience is invaluable for students. `I’m drawn to teaching that involves actually doing the work at the same time,” Kelley said adding, “I want to be part of the direction the college is going’ — that is providing life-lifting career opportunities for individuals and strengthening our local economy.”

When it reopens, the café will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The Cafe’s  student staff will also cater college gatherings and events, including those hosted at the college’s teaching winery, the Southwest Wine Center.

IS FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK AT YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE? OR IS IT ONLY PAUL CHEVALIER’S FREE SPEECH THE ADMINISTRATION APPEARS CONCERNED WITH?

By R. Oliphant
Saturday, June 25th, 2022

Former Sedona Center/Verde Valley Dean claims she was subject to possible discipline apparently for allowing Third District Rep Paul Chevalier to speak at OLLI luncheon March 2, 2022

Robert E. Oliphant, Editor

OPINION. If the information now being made public by the former Sedona Center/Verde Campus Dean Dr. Tina Redd is correct, it appears that freedom of speech at the Yavapai Community College is under attack ― at least when it comes to Third District Representative Paul Chevalier.

According to Dean Tina Redd, the College Prescott-based executives were involved in some kind of “back channel” communications about Mr. Chevalier and  appeared to her as almost panicked because he was speaking at a 1:00 p.m. OLLI luncheon March 2, 2022 on the Verde Campus. Dean Redd  alleges that the Community College executives subjected her to something akin to interrogation  about the event.

In her recent public disclosures explaining why she left her position as Sedona Center/Verde Valley Dean, Dr. Redd  commented on the  incident. She wrote:  

“I am bewildered by the flurry of back channel communication surrounding the OLLI Brown Bag luncheon featuring Paul Chevalier.” 

Dean Redd then expanded on  her recollection of events leading up to the March speech:   

Yavapai Community College Third District Representative Paul Chevalier

“My associate dean was contacted on her personal cell phone on a Sunday evening (2/27) asking her to immediately supply information about the event creating a sense of panic.  After a second request, for specific emails between my associate dean and myself, I reached out to Dr. Ryan to let her know I was happy to supply anything she needed.  I was informed two days later that Dr. Ryan has lost her cell phone. Then we were informed that Board Chair Deb McCasland and Tyler Rumsey would attend the event.  Was the event being recorded? “No.”  Did Dr. Redd give permission for the event?  “Dr. Redd doesn’t directly approve OLLI events.” It feels a bit like we’re being interrogated, but we never know why.

After the March event,  Dean Redd says that because of it she perceived she was going to be possibly disciplined  for apparently allowing the speech to go forward.  She said the following:

I am now scheduled for a disciplinary meeting over this brown bag luncheon.  Regardless of the outcome of this meeting, I am troubled by the approach.  As Verde Valley Dean, I cannot function without trust and support.  By any account, relations between the college and Verde Valley citizens have been tumultuous for more than twenty years.  I didn’t invent this conflict.  Yet, I will be formally reprimanded when a conversation about procedures would suffice. 

The behavior of the Prescott-based executives appears both childish and puzzling.  Quite frankly, their actions as alleged by Dr. Redd fail to pass the smell test.

Dr. Redd has shown great courage in publicly disclosing the dreadful actions of her superiors when it comes to Mr. Chevalier.  She no doubt understands, as do most educators, that the best demonstration of our value of a right of free speech in a democracy is ensuring that a person with whom we disagree is heard.   It is a value that educational institutions like Yavapai Community College should model and practice.  Once an educational institution decides to use its  power to  suppress controversial ideas, we are all subject to its censorship.

If there were truly a Higher Education Commission concerned with free speech and  community colleges, it would be thoroughly investigating the allegations coming from the former Dean at Yavapai Community College about this incident.

 The efforts to apparently use Dean Redd to suppress Mr. Chevalier from speaking, although unsuccessful, fly directly in the face of what higher educational institutions stand for.

“WORKFORCE PROMISE” FREE TUITION PROGRAM EXPANDS STUDENT ELIGIBILITY STARTING FALL 2022

By R. Oliphant
Friday, June 17th, 2022

Program now encompasses students studying in such areas as mechanics, fire science and other trades who were not covered by the College’s 2017 free tuition plan

In a June 15 press release, Yavapai Community College announced that it was expanding student tuition free opportunities via a program it calls “Workforce Promise.” The new program expands free tuition to eligible students studying in many more areas than it did when it first began offering free tuition in its “YC Promise” program back in 2017.

Of significance, is that beginning in the fall 2022, the Community College will now offer students, of any age, the chance to earn a two-year degree in a variety of trades, tuition-free.

The Workforce Promise program covers students seeking degrees in the following fields:

Associate of Arts Elementary Ed.

Associate of Business

Associate of Science

Accounting

Agriculture Technology Mgmt.

Applied Pre-Engineering

Automotive Technology

Computer Networking Technology

Electrical & Instrumentation Tech.

Fire Science

Graphic Design

Management

Nursing

Paralegal Studies

Radiologic Technology

Viticulture and Enology

Among several requirements for the program is one that declares that  those in the tuition free program must complete their degree program in seven semesters. 

The College says that the Workforce Promise program is available for new students, enrolling for the Fall 2022 Semester, as well as qualifying first-year YC students. It also says that students must enroll through the Community College Promise Portal, meet regularly with advisors, maintain at least a 2.0 grade average and graduate within the stipulated time frame. The reimbursement covers direct tuition costs up to sixty-one credits. It will be awarded after degree completion, and cannot include any non-YC classes, transfer credits, developmental or re-taken courses. For a full list of eligibility requirements, please visit the YC Promise website.

There is a deadline for application to this program.  Students wishing to apply for the Workforce Promise must opt-in through the Community College  Promise Portal by Monday, August 1. Additional information can be obtained by visiting: yc.edu/promise

YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROVIDES MINGUS UNION HIGH SCHOOL $100,000 TO INVEST IN ATHLETIC FIELDS

By R. Oliphant
Monday, June 13th, 2022

Under constant pressure to justify its huge investment in athletic department, theory of gift is to improve Mingus athletic fields so some Community College games are played on east side of the County

Yavapai Community College has been under constant pressure from some educational advocates in Sedona and the Verde Valley to justify spending millions of dollars on its large athletic program.  All of the playing fields and facilities it uses are located in Prescott (One field leased in Prescott Valley). 

Few east-side residents attend any of the College’s matches or games. One reason is  an absence of public or  College transportation available to transport east-siders to the sporting events, almost all of which occur on the west side of the County. Another reason is a lack of interest among east-siders  in the teams as only a tiny percentage of the total number of athletes come from towns or cities on the east side of the County. Moreover, the College teams are seldom followed in local east-side media.

In an effort to justify spending millions on athletics, the College persuaded the District Governing Board at its May meeting to set aside $100,000 from its $90 plus million 2022-23 budget for Mingus Union High School in Cottonwood. According to the College, the money was intended  to “invest in athletic fields to allow portion of YC season to be played in the VV.” 

How the $100,000 figure was arrived at or exactly how Mingus intended to use the money is unclear. The documents provided to the public so far do not indicate Mingus made a formal request for the money.  It appears more like a gift.

ASTONISHINGLY, PRESCOTT-BASED COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION’S “HOSTILITY” TOWARD CERTAIN GROUPS CONTRASTED WITH HER POPULARITY AMONG ALL IN THE VERDE VALLEY HELPED DRIVE FORMER DEAN FROM JOB

By R. Oliphant
Sunday, June 12th, 2022

Dean Redd publicly reveals the incredible pressure she was placed under by  Prescott bosses who apparently feared some vague kind of collusion against them if she worked with certain citizens and civic leaders

Editor: Robert E. Oliphant

OPINION. It is little wonder that former Sedona Center/Verde Campus Dean Dr. Tina Redd quit her job after only one year. In information just provided to the public, she describes, among other things, the enormous pressure she experienced because her Prescott-based bosses did not want her to consort or communicate with certain groups or civic leaders in the Verde Valley. She was to stay away from these people even if they voiced legitimate concerns, wanted to work with her, respected, and were fond of  her.

Dr. Redd outlined her situation in a letter sent to the Yavapai Community College President Dr. Lisa Rhine. She wrote that: “My team and I have successfully increased educational opportunities in the Verde Valley, created a better work environment for Verde faculty and staff, and made good progress in creating stronger relationships between Yavapai College and Verde Valley stakeholders.” However, “Despite this, I have experienced stressful, disheartening, and challenging work dynamics that have limited my potential and created unacceptable levels of work-related stress.”

In the same letter, Dr. Redd explained  how  hostility coming from Prescott execs toward some in the Valley was directly affecting her work:  “I feel there is general hostility toward the politically-active constituents in the Verde Valley that impedes my ability to represent and support the community.” 

The “politically-active constituents” she refers to are apparently those residents and civic leaders who publicly speak out about concerns of a lack of classes, attention, and a 50-year failure of development in Sedona and the Verde Valley. 

And her worst sin. She was “respected” and “liked” by the politically active constituents, concerned citizens, civic leaders, and others throughout the east side of the County.

Dr. Redd explained in her letter the consequences she perceived coming from her Prescott-based bosses because she received this kind of respect from all quarters in Sedona and the Verde Valley: “I often feel that being respected and liked in the Verde Valley is seen as collusion with citizens and civic leaders who are vocal about their concerns regarding college programming and taxpayer contributions.” 

Think of it. A public servant working tirelessly for a publicly supported taxpayer institution whose bosses apparently feared she might somehow collude with politically active local residents and civic leaders and challenge their iron fisted authoritarian control. What a childish view coming from Prescott. What a dreadful situation for her. Her bosses were not only hostile toward certain Valley residents  they considered “politically active”  but also considered Dr. Redd as possibly “colluding” in some fantasy against them because she was popular among these and other Valley residents.

Collusion. Hostility. Disrespect. These are the ingredients of a recipe cooked up by insecure Prescott bosses most likely designed to maintain total control over Dr. Redd and ensure total control over community college development in the Verde Valley. It is a recipe that would drive any principled person from the Dean’s job.

The disclosures have made two things crystal clear: First, Valley residents can be assured that Dr. Redd’s  permanent replacement will be a lacky to her Prescott bosses, their whims, and ways. That person will be on a constant hot seat to ensure as much as possible that certain residents and civic leaders voices are not heard and that they play no role in their own local community college.

Second, Valley residents can likewise be assured that as long as Prescott maintains its ruthless  control of community college development on the east side of the County via messages sent by them and mouthed by a newly hired, closely monitored Dean, there will be little serious attention paid to the real present and long-term educational needs on that side of Mingus Mountain.

ONLINE CLASSES DOMINATE SUMMER SESSION AT YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE

By R. Oliphant
Wednesday, June 8th, 2022

College offers 134 online classes and 96 face-to-face classes; nine face-to-face classes on east side of County; 88 face-to-face classes offered on west side of County

Online classes now dominate the summer session at Yavapai Community College.  According to its registration website, there is a total of 230 summer session credit classes being offered in 2022.  Of those classes, 134 are being offered online.  There are only 96 classes being offered face-to-face.

In terms of east County and west County face-to-face class offerings, there are nine summer session credit classes offered on the east side of the County (Sedona and the Verde Valley) and 88 summer session credit face-to-face classes being offered on the west side of the County (Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley).

Summer Regular Session began June 6 and will end July 28.

FACE-TO-FACE SUMMER SESSION CREDIT CLASSES AT VERDE VALLEY CAMPUS AND SEDONA CENTER SHOW VERY LOW ENROLLMENT

By R. Oliphant
Tuesday, June 7th, 2022

Only nine classes offered at Verde Campus; none at Sedona Center | Four classes show enrollment of five or fewer students | Reasons might be: Online focus?  Poor marketing?  Historical underdevelopment?  Resignation of Dean Redd?  Firing of Sedona Culinary Director without summer plans?  Other?

The face-to-face summer session enrollment at the Verde Valley Campus and Sedona Center for credit courses shows a disappointing number being offered and a similar disappointing response to enrolling in several of them.  That is what the Blog derived when examining the Community College  registration data on the first day of classes, June 6.  

One reason for low enrollment is the lack of face-to-face courses being offered.  This year the Community College offered only nine classes.  All were based on the Verde Campus.  No classes were offered at the Sedona Center.

Registration data checked on the first day of the summer session also showed that in four of the nine classes being offered there were  five or fewer students registered. 

There are many possible explanations  for this situation.  Maybe the lower registration has to do with the Community College focusing on offering over 130 classes on-line.  Or, possibly it reflects the failure of over 50 years in poor development of the Community College on the east side of the County?  Or, poor marketing skills when it comes to the Verde Valley? Or, that Campus Dean Dr. Tina Redd resigned in March?  Or, poor planning associated with the decision to terminate Sedona Center Director of its Culinary Arts program and having no direction for the summer?   

Whatever the reason, the summer session for face-to-face credit classes  at Yavapai Community College on the east side of Yavapai County does not look very strong.
