While I haven’t written much about it due to time, there’s been a tremendous amount of nonsense (polite term) going on with the College of DuPage (COD) Board of Trustees over the last few years. Trustees resigning because of board ineffectiveness and poor leadership with the incumbent trustee board chair investigated and sued because of multiple accusations of sexual harassment; charges of irresponsible and wasteful contract spending; board secretiveness and an attempt to stifle criticism from the college newspaper by moving its control from students to administration; and attempts to implement out of the mainstream, right-wing policies that will diminish College of DuPage’s standing and quality of education. Trustees even hired an outside public relations firm behind the backs of the college president and administration for $15,000 a month – not explaining in any reasonable way why the current communications staff wasn’t sufficient. Did you know that they’ve been paying at least two college “presidents” for the last year to the tune of around $400,000? It’s terrible.

You have a chance to end the nonsense. You have a chance to repair and restore the College of DuPage as an effective institution focused on educating DuPage residents – not whatever you want to call the egregious actions of a number of current board members.
