68% No Confidence Vote for Colagross

When the ballots were unfolded, 68% of NWSCC employees had cast a no-confidence vote in the presidency of Dr. Glenda Colagross. Nearly all sources say the root of discontent with Colagross is a huge faculty salary issue.

A peripheral issue seems to be that the community college president has declined to listen to those who oppose her. How deep does that issue go?

Colagross has been reported to be on a leave of absence. Really? Health? What? Is the State of Alabama circling wagons and coming up with a new strategy...or a new college president?

Apparently there's a great deal more to this issue than has been reported. We certainly realize that Dr. Colagross inherited quite a mess from Dr. Humphrey Lee, but whatever she's done to make matters better, it doesn't seem to be working.

We still hear rumors that part, if not all, of the Phil Campbell campus may close. This is not what the public wants. Yes, things change, and perhaps education gurus should consider revamping the entire community college system. Comments welcome.
