Before we dig into the candidacies for the John A. Logan College Board of Trustees, let's devote a couple more short posts to the last Board meeting. As we pointed out yesterday, former professors Gary Caldwell and Helen Nall each spoke during the public comment period. To read the news release, on the College web site, you would think they merely seconded the stated concerns of Board members Glenn Poshard and Ray Hancock that state finances are a mess and adversely affect the College.
While acknowledging that Ms. Nall "spoke out about the layoff of a full-time history instructor " and that she said, “This breaks my heart”, the release focuses on Poshard, who the article headlines and who is mentioned six times.
A Muddy Williamson reader has provided a link to video of Helen Nall's comments to the Board. They are powerful, they are specific, they are damning. And, they name, and make the case for the reinstatement of the full time history instructor: Dr. David Cochran. The video is here.
What Poshard said is trued, but it's nothing different than what every citizen of Illinois is saying around the kitchen table. What the retired professors spoke to was specific to John A. Logan College. We will post a link to video of Professor Gary Caldwell's statement as soon as we get it.
Don't know what Woodcrack was smoking when he wrote that piece.
