Letters to the Editor

As a Rio Hondo College Alumni, I am very disturbed at the actions taken by President Martinez against the professors in question, but most specifically as it relates to Professor Colin Young. I had the good fortune to study under Professor Young and I can say without reservation that ethics and compassion top the list of his character traits. I am now attending the University of California and very sensitive to the issues surrounding racial discrimination and when I reflect on my Rio Hondo experience the only grief I experienced came at the hads of a misguided administration. When one considers the achievement s under President Martinez administration I think of a failed Police Academy, a struggling Athletic Department, embezzlement and favoritism in the hiring and appointment of staff. He would like to bow to the applause that created a beautiful campus, but all he had to do is hold on to the reins given him by years of study and effort by previous administrations. The success of the certification and degree program is a direct result of staff and their dedication to the students. I look back with found memory of my educational experience, but it had nothing and I repeat NOTHING to do with President Martinez. For the record I am Chicano and proud of my culture, but I will never be proud of the fact that Presdient Martinez is only looking to line his pockets before taking an early retirement. I say pay him in pesos and put him on the mule he rode in on...

It looks pretty promising, considering it was shot on almost no-budget.
