Staff are mum on her absence
Yavapai Community College President Penelope Wills was out of her office from March 21 through April 11. When asked about her whereabouts, her staff were tight-lipped and provided no information.
During her report to the District Governing Board on Tuesday, April 18 she did not mention her three-week absence from the College. Seems a little strange.
Wills receives about a quarter million dollars a year in salary. She is one of the highest-paid taxpayer supported bureaucrats in the County. Most believe she owes it to the taxpayers to let them know what she is doing in her professional capacity as President with her time—even if it is taking a vacation during the academic year.
One source reported to the Blog that Wills had traveled to Australia on a vacation and attendance at short conference. This report could not be confirmed.
