College again refuses to find Verde Valley faculty for important post in the Verde Valley–Prescott faculty member appointed as Sedona Community liaison
The Prescott based College Administration continues its track record of appointing only West County faculty to posts in the Verde Valley. Dean James Perey, for example, lives in Chino Valley while heading the Verde Campus. The newest appointment is Dennis Garvey, a Prescott resident and long-time Yavapai College faculty member on the Prescott campus.
In his 60s, he is also Yavapai College’s Dean of Lifelong Learning. According to the press release from the College, he has accepted the added role as the College’s Sedona community liaison with the goal of “working with the Sedona community to develop plans and programs for the YC Sedona Center that meet the community’s needs and support the College’s mission.” The announcement said that Garvey has already begun spending 2-3 days a week at the Sedona Center.
The College stated that he is to work with local community members, civic leaders, students and other stakeholders to develop a strategic plan for the Sedona Center that focuses on community educational needs while supporting the College’s mission.
Too bad no one on the Verde Valley faculty has the skill to undertake this important job.
