Splendid oversight by the Diminutive Deval Patrick administration. Makes ya sick!

Great article Mary:

What a wonderful place.  Liberals love this type of operation.  A feeding feenzy for minorities only. 

Just another example of the phony baloney "higher" education system in the US today. When every politician from A to Z screams that we must "invest" in education I think of these money making factories that benefit only the administrators and phony presidents and squander our tax dollars for their own pocketbooks. Meanwhile these innocent kids get a worthless diploma and become unemployed and still don't know why this happened. Of course they STILL owe thousands of dollars in student loans. GO OBAMA!

Nepotism, neophyte and under-qualified administration, CASH--lots of, laughable credentials--shouldn't Gomes and Shanks et al be up on charges? Who IS in charge? And what about the students who are supposed to be getting an education?  Citations like a 33% uptick in remedial math scores mean nothing---especially if RCC was in charge of reporting these results. There's a lot of self-reporting in these circles, and who really could or should believe any of these results.  Further, what does an RCC education mean?  Should the Commonwealth really be shoveling another $20M in development towards RCC? Also, what is the relationship between RCC and the City's Math and Science high school center next door? Well- documented problems there, too....so tons of money goes to these NOT venerable institutions to help students succeed, but the bucks stop in some overpaid, highly confident, yet fakely credentialled administration?  Jail time.

Every 10 years or so since its inception RCC is the subject of an exposé of bad financial practices, bureaucratic indifference, and an astonishingly poor retention rate. Then huge amount of tax dollars are spent in investigating and rehabilitating the school's financial mismanagement. Wash, rinse and repeat cycle despite who is president of the United States, despite who is governor of the Commonwealth, and despite who is president of the college. The federal and state departments of education have not the political guts to pull the school's student financial aid eligibility and the same can be said of the accrediting organization, which I believe is NEASC. Roxbury and the area's residents deserve post-secondary constructs designed to meet their needs and foster educational success. RCC, as we know it, ain't the solution, and, it seems, never has been.

Almost all other RCC employees who talked to the Globe did so on the condition of anonymity because they had been forbidden by supervisors to speak with the newspaper.

And read on. Some were threatened they'd lose their jobs. See how your first amendment rights caan be hung from a fascist tree by some tyrant administrator.

Sounds like the school was managed like the third world hell hole that it is. Black leaders gorging on millions of dollars from the government with none of the money reaching the poor people it was intended for. Kind of like Zimbabwe or Rwanda.

According to Obama; we must invest more in education, lol. Obama and Deval at the helm; what a waste.
