Some, not enough, progress at COD

We saw progress at the College of DuPage Board meeting Wednesday. The Boycott 3, Erin Birt, Joe Wozniak and spokesperson Dianne McGuire, showed up for the regularly scheduled 7:00 PM meeting to pass COD operating directives they have been holding up for an unconscionable 51 days.

But they did nothing to end their infantile spat in which they refuse to accept that duly authorized Acting Chair Deanne Mazzochi is in fact Acting Chair. They did nothing to address the two year probation imposed on COD by the Higher Learning Commission for actions they enabled during the Breuder administration. They did nothing to fulfill their elected duty to appoint a seventh Board member from the 26 local residents who have applied.

And most egregiously, they continue to stonewall and obfuscate addressing the DuPage States Attorney's request for records of the 2014 closed board sessions. in which all three participated, that preceded their notification to President Robert Breuder his contract was extended.

That raises the question many in the COD community keep asking, including directly to the Boycott 3 by public speakers at last night's meeting: "What are you hiding?"
