Urges Board to listen to citizens who are speaking to it about this issue
Ruth Wicks
Citizen Ruth Wicks appeared before the Yavapai Community College Governing Board at its October meeting. She urged the Governing Board to delay final appointment of a College president until the Board, including any new members, was seated in January.
Wicks’ suggested the decision to move ahead and make the appointment in December, regardless of the election outcome and the possible seating of new Board members, gave the appearance of a “do or die process.” She also suggested that by sticking so rigidly with the current selection date that there was an undercurrent of concern or suspicion that the new president had somehow already been selected.
