Erin Heasley, an Academic Senate vice president, clarified that the vote was not a call for Reyna's firing, stating, "What we're asking for is for the (State Center Community College District Board of Trustees) to help us work toward doing participatory governance the way the law outlines. For us, mediation has to be a part of that." This highlights the faculty's emphasis on collaborative governance and their desire for a productive resolution.
The 12-2 vote by the college's Academic Senate reflects a growing tension between faculty and administration, emphasizing a significant breakdown in communication and cooperation. While some faculty members express concerns about Reyna's governance approach, others caution that personal grievances may overshadow the larger impact on students and educational quality.
President Angel Reyna's office stated, 'We remain committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to address concerns and have always welcomed discussion from those who have questions or thoughts.' This response underscores Reyna's position on transparency and cooperation within the college's governance structure.
