Comments made by Melinda Ornelas:
“Good evening, Madame Chair and Governing Board Members, Chancellor Glasper, and members of the Chancellor Executive Council. My name is Melinda Ornelas, President of the Adjunct Faculty Association for the Maricopa Community College District. We represent all adjuncts in our Maricopa District. We also follow and support the Maricopa College District Mission and Vision. We are here today in support of our fellow faculty from Mesa Community College that have been unfairly and unjustly dismissed by Ann Stine, the Department Chair for Exercise Science. Additionally, our Adjunct Faculty Association (AFA) wants to assure you that these fine members of our faculty community have in fact followed the prescribed protocol and chain of command as set forth in the AFA Policy Manual and by-laws. We would also like to personally extend our sincere gratitude to our Chancellor, Dr. Rufus Glasper, and Vice chancellor Maria Harper-Marinick for meeting with and listening to these faculty members. They will appeal to you as our elected community board members to also listen actively to their side of the story, as you conduct your ethical duties to the Maricopa Community College District. Thank you very much for your kind attention this evening.”

Comments read by Theo Heap, Adjunct Faculty Member at MCC and taxpayer:

“ President Rosenthal, Dr. Glasper, and Members of the Board: I stand before you tonight as a private taxpaying citizen of Mesa to express my outrage for what has been taking place the last three and one half months in the PE and Athletic Departments at the College I helped to found, Mesa Community College.

It was my intention to, step by step, go through everything that has transpired in this situation in recent years and then more specifically what has happened to me personally since June first of this year. Time restraints will not permit this.

We have taken every step as outlined by the district, from meeting with Ann Stine, the department chair, to Carol Ach, the Dean over PE, to vice President Jim Mancuso and then on to President Bernie Ronan. Roadblocks and delays have been placed in our path every step of the way. WE have now pushed our cause all the way to the Chancellor. During the process we have been lied to, discriminated against, treated unethically and delayed every step of the way. Tana (Martin) is going to outline what has happened to us in more detail after I complete my remarks.

In my personal experience with Ann Stine, when she discovered that I was trying to help the great adjunct faculty I have been working with, she took the following discriminatory steps against me. Keep in mind that up until now I was deemed to be highly qualified to work in the fitness centers.
First, my load hours were cut in half
Second – my hours were reduced to just two days a week
Third – on the day we all met with the MCC administration, I learned
that all of my classes had been taken away. I am now just an
unemployed taxpaying citizens of this community
Fourth – to this day I have never been notified by Stine that I have
been terminated. I wonder why? (Statements in department
meeting – expound.)

I have been qualified to teach Health and Physical Education for about 16 or 17 years but apparently I no longer meet her ever-changing qualifications. It makes no difference that I have lectured in this field at universities in many parts of the world. Apparently because I have not been certified as a personal trainer by the programs she is pushing I am no longer qualified to teach students who enroll in our fitness programs. What a joke!!

I have always been proud of my association with MCC but if the administration of this college is going to allow one of its department chairs to operate in this manner, I no longer wish to be associated with it.

It was just about a year ago that MCC was raked over the coals because of the incompetence of this same department chair, Ann Stine. According to the East Valley Tribune, their were phony baloney being taught by coaches and full time PE instructors on the MCC campus, under the direct supervision of the department chairperson. Apparently they were never monitored; evaluated or checked on, to make sure they were legitimate and following the college instructional guidelines.

Had this person been fired or removed as department chairperson at that time, for obvious incompetence, and unethical behavior, we would not be having this current problem.

According the decision handed down by President Ronan, vice president Jim Mancuso and Dean Carol Achs, Ann Stine in not only not being removed from her position as Chairperson of the PE Department, she is digging a deeper hold for herself by calling two of our fulltime employees, Denver Latimore and Dave Gerlach liars. These are two outstanding fulltime employees of the college who have provided outstanding service to Mesa Community College for many years.

So, I ask, what has happed to the great college I have been associated with for the past 42 years. What has happened to the high standards of honesty and integrity established by Dr. John Dr. Riggs, the founding President of this great institution? Doesn’t anyone have the courage to make a tough decision and get this mess straightened out? Coaches locked out – not able to work with their athletes in the weight room. I am also prohibited from working out in this facility.

I leave you with two thoughts:
General Douglas MacArthur stated “I shall return.” And the phrase “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” However, I do not intend to fade away.”

Comments expressed by Tana Martin, Adjunct Faculty at Mesa Community College:
“Our current department chair in the Exercise Science/Phi8sical Education Department has affected the lives of approximately 25 adjunct faculty instructors, 18 of which received termination letters on Friday, July 13, 2007, stating we were deficient in education and/or certification requirements.

In the spring of 2005 Ann Stine stated to use that in order to continue employment in the centers, we must obtain a personal training certification by fall 2008. No other stipulations applied. She wanted the department to become more professional and staff to be certified. We all welcomed the new changes and agreed to her new requirements. Understand that those of us terminated have been employed with mesa Community College at Southern & Dobson, and Red Mountain for 14-42 years and includes a past president of the college.

In the spring of 2007 Ann Stine approved a certification that 15 Adjunct faculty instructors took and successfully completed. After we all completed the course she refused to accept it. This is just one of her many mind changes and inconsistencies that occurred in a 2-3 month time period.

The college now wants to reimburse us for the certification, and pay for a new certification that at the present time Ann is accepting. Remember, she accepted our certification too and have documentation to prove it.

Don’t you think that a good competent leader/Manager/Department Chair would have provided all those necessary tools and material to a staff with all those years of experience prior to termination? She showed little if any leadership, consideration and or compassion to such a loyal, dedicated, hardworking and honest staff. We always served the needs of our students and community. Never jeopardized enrollment, in fact, many student returned semester after semester, because we were the backbone of the department. We provided consistency, good quality instruction, showed compassion towards all individuals both physically and emotionally. The community and their safety were always #1. We developed programs , developed relationships, maintained friendships and always represented the department and college in a very professional manner. We keep the big picture in mind, maintaining the tradition of excellence, and we have proven continued success. But at the present time this tradition is being torn apart.

Now I plead with you that you take the time to investigate this situation. Ann Stine and Mark Peterson have hired 12-15 new adjunct faculty instructors. These new instructors are much younger than those terminated, are still completing their education and have even stated that they are completing their internship this semester under the supervision of Mark Peterson. Isn’t that discrimination? Isn’t that what Mesa Community college is trying to clean up? Mismanagement, misrepresentation, mistreatment and trying to make more accountable to staff, students and more importantly to the community? She has created dissention among the Exercise Science/Physical Education and Athletic Department, discriminated against the staff, coaches and student athletes. All this information is backed up with a paper trail and 5 minutes in not ample time to discuss all the mistreatment, misrepresentation, and discrimination that has taken place.

I am asking that you investigate and find out what has been hidden from the public – investigate the new hires, check on enrollment, check on current classes being taught, and speak to the community and returning students. Every administrator at the college has been made aware of this discrimination but not one of them is willing to take a stance and me the right decision. To do what is best for the department for the college and more importantly the community! That is where our loyalty should be devoted to correct, the community.

We would be happy to meet her requirements once again. We were discriminated against and did not receive fair and equal treatment. We want our jobs back. We want to be compensated for this semester. We want fair and equal working conditions without discrimination, retaliation and or harassment. And we ask that you evaluate the competence of our current Department Chair Ann Stine.

We as a group have more than proven our commitment, dedication and loyalty to the department, college and community. We deserve better and are asking you for your help. As our representatives and our voice it is your responsibility to investigate this matter and make the necessary changes and or recommendations. Thank you so much for your time.”

MCC Adjunct Faculty member, Steve Spracale came forward to express frustration with the inability of adjunct faculty members to take classes when they are not teaching. He attempted to enroll in a class through Rio Salado one day before he was scheduled to begin teaching and was denied. He enrolled two weeks later, however, was frustrated with denial for the class two weeks prior.

(VI.A.)
INFORMATION ITEMS

1. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MANDATORY PUBLIC STEWARDSHIP TRAINING - review and amend this policy. Since the adoption of this item in February 2007, the language has been implemented and the changes better define “employees” as well as acknowledge the availability of on-line training, and that initial training can be completed in a year.

2. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO AMENDMENT TO SECTION 1.9.1 OF THE PROCUREMENT OF GOODS AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION - review and adopt the recommended change to this regulation. Since the adoption of changes to this item by the Governing Board in February, the language has been implemented as part of the various Blue Ribbon Panel recommendations. As part of the implementation process, the need for clarity in the definition of a Board approved employee was identified. It is recommended that the Board act on this regulation directly, as the proposed change is related to the Panel’s recommendation. The change will add additional clarity on the scope of parties that should complete and submit a conflict of interest form.

3. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ENROLLMENT IRREGULARITIES REGULATION - adopt the recommended changes to the regulation on Enrollment Irregularities. The proposed amendments seek to provide further guidance on how the regulation is operationalized. In addition, clarity is added to establish that credit and Skill Center courses are the areas that are governed through this regulation. The Board is being asked to adopt the proposed changes directly, as the changes were made as a result of implementing the Blue Ribbon Panel’s recommendation for this item.

4. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO HIRING OF RELATIVE POLICY - adopt the proposed changes to the Hiring of Relatives policy. After the adoption and implementation of this item in February, it was established that the language needed additional clarity with respect to the employees that should file a disclosure form. In addition, the term “cousin” was added under the definition of relatives.

5. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MARICOPA INTEGRATED RISK ASSESSMENT (MIRA) REGULATION - adopt the proposed revision to the administrative regulation for the Maricopa Integrated Risk Assessment project. The proposed changes are consistent with others being made that seek to clarify the definition of employees for the purpose of implementation. The Board is asked to do a direct adoption of the change in regulation as the change is proposed due to the actual implementation of the Blue Ribbon Panel’s recommendations.

6. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION - review and amend this policy. Since the adoption of this item in February 2007, we have sought clarification on the quarterly reporting requirements recommended by the Blue Ribbon Panel. The original language required reporting on whistleblower complaints. These complaints are made to specific entities or persons including the Arizona Attorney General, the Arizona Legislature, the Governor of Arizona, the Maricopa County Attorney, a federal, state or local law enforcement agency, or the Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board. Given this, the District administration may not know about the whistleblower reports. Therefore, the revision requires reporting on data we can provide, which is for Ombuds and 24-hour hotline reporting.
