As of Sunday, May 20 the purpose of the meeting has not been posted; Transparency is not one of the Governing Board’s strengths
The Yavapai Community College Governing Board has scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday, May 23, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. on the Prescott Campus – Building 32-119, 1100 E. Sheldon Street, Prescott, AZ.
The actual purpose of the meeting has not appeared on the Board’s website as of the evening of Sunday, May 20. It is suspected that this meeting will be held to hire a consultant to seek out candidates for President Penelope Wills position. It may also be used to reaffirm that the leader of the West County voting bloc, Pat McCarver, will be appointed to head the search committee. (The Blog notes that the decision about who to appoint as chair of the Presidential Search Committee was not specifically stated in the Agenda for the May 2018 meeting. Nevertheless, Chair Sigafoos moved to appoint her. His motion was approved 4-1.)
The holding back of the agenda for the May 23 meeting aids the Board in keeping the public in the dark until the last possible moment about its reason.
