Instead of it being a celebration of a proud legacy of successes, the staff, presidents and faculty wonder if there will be a CCC to celebrate in 2012? Our students are being forced to graduate at UIC Pavillion - what connection do they have there? And good news, they get to listen to someone from Washington address them on their Graduation day. Instead of being personally addressed by their College Presidents and faculty that were instrumental in their completion! <br />Ms. Hyman wants the City Colleges to look the same, offer everything the same way, etc.. Has she looked at the students that attend the City Colleges? They come to the City Colleges for different reasons-some of our students' parents don't make $150,000/year! Some of them do, but want their children to get a solid education BEFORE they enter the 4 year university. Some of them even take classes because they WANT to, NOT because they NEED to! We all have different goals. <br />As Ms. Hyman DEINVENTS the City Colleges, how appropriate is it that our 100 year anniversary falls on SEPTEMBER 11th! Yes, we'll ALL remember this one, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852033496521453040.post-49613661125189257902011-03-28T19:40:05.694-07:002011-03-28T19:40:05.694-07:00It's very clear where the money came from to c...It's very clear where the money came from to cover the hiring of Cheryl's friends- from the seven City Colleges' budgets! She's Centralizing everything downtown in the name of UNIFYING the Colleges and decreasing the expenses to Taxpayers! If you can believe that,after reading the Board reports between last May, 2010 and Feb., 2011, then you most certainly are among her lucky six-figure plus friends she hired! Why hasn't she dared to show her face anywhere in the MEDIA since last week's CBS News report??? Her Spokesperson said "there's no story here"! Really, well come on campus and "LISTEN" to the students that are being short-changed by a lack of Advisors. Talk to the students who have had their Continuing Education classes(required for certain State Licenses)cancelled because they don't meet what District Office deems the "magic number of 15" to run. Never mind that the class may bring a 75% profit to the College AFTER paying the instructor. And never mind that the class may be one that serves a specific audience- like for our 65 and over students- sorry, we can't run this class for you any more. Yes, we (the staff)understand that you can't afford to take this computer class with the "XYZ school" or Park District but the "people" who are reinventing your CITY COLLEGES DON"T CARE! Because, contrary to what Cheryl's friend's new slogan says, It' NOT all about U, our students; it's about you, Cheryl. You've taken the City Colleges and single-handedly are destroying what took 100 years to build! <br /> A special Thank you to our outgoing Mayor Daley for again proving how ignorant he is as to educating our students! Shame on you for being so "politically Correct" and hiring this Com-ed reject! I hope that Mayor Emmanuel has the insight and TRUE concern for education that he can undo what has been done before it's too late!<br /> There are always changes that can be made in any setting, but to randomly break down every department, on every campus and "re-invent" successful programs for the sake of getting your name in print is DESPICABLE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852033496521453040.post-44992560730004553292011-03-28T18:33:06.031-07:002011-03-28T18:33:06.031-07:00Very good job "Save City Colleges of Chicago&...Very good job "Save City Colleges of Chicago"!!!
