For Star subscribers: Two faculty groups sent complaints to Pima Community College's accreditor, accusing administration of excluding faculty in pay policy decisions and intimidating critics.
Kathryn Palmer Faculty representatives have filed two new complaints with Pima Community College’s accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission, over the past few days.
People are also reading… In a statement to the Arizona Daily Star Monday about these two new faculty-driven complaints, a spokesman for PCC said “it is the college's practice not to comment on complaints sent to the Higher Learning Commission until the HLC issues a final determination, as many facts contained in an initial letter can be inaccurate or unsupported by evidence.”
At the June 8 board meeting in which the new policy passed, “public comment was moved to the end, and voting occurred before the board could hear from employees,” reads the complaint the PCC Faculty Senate endorsed in a 30-0 vote Friday afternoon.
This second complaint stems from the group’s allegations that the college violated HLC bylaws by creating “fear and hopelessness, including harassment, intimidation, and retaliation against employees who have expressed criticism of the college,” according to a news release issued by PCEA Monday. According to the complaint Hays and her colleagues endorsed and sent to the HLC over the weekend, “PCC’s response to these public criticisms was swift, engaging in both stonewalling and intimidation.”
