Let it Snow Let it Snow

Tomorrow is the day that candidates file paperwork with the Bernalillo County Clerk’s office in order to be on the ballot in February for the Governing Board of Central New Mexico Community College. The deadline is 5:00 pm.

The Governing Board has completely supported President Kathy Winograd in her desire to increase administration while freezing instructional support for the college. They gave her an 11% raise after only six months on the job while giving economically distressed college employees 0% rises. Too often in the past board members have said that rises are given to the college in lump sums in which the college is given complete discursion on how that money is used to give employees pay increases. This year President Winograd felt that she deserved all of the money herself. She has also made it clear that if anyone is going to lose a job it will be the instructional support staff first because she is not planning on cutting either administration employees or their huge salaries. Clearly she does not want to do the job she was hired for in the first place. The new college motto should read “Forget Students! It’s all about the Administration.”
