mission statement, our Board policies and our accrediting agency, Middle States,
regarding Leadership and Governance. In the interest of brevity, these quotes are only a
portion of the complete documents.
MCC’s mission is to provide access to high quality education and training programs to a
diverse community. Student success is the college’s highest priority.
The board members should represent different points of view, interests, and experiences
as well as diversity in characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, and gender. Governing
board composition should attempt to reflect student body profiles.
One of the major responsibilities of the (board) is to select the chief executive officer. It
is the (Board’s) responsibility to ensure that the selection process is established,
published, and followed. (I left this paragraph out as I was short on time.)
The Board is expected to conduct its business transactions with the integrity that is
expected under the law and the traditions of an institution of higher education.” (End of
quotes)
All Board members must be willing to follow the Board’s governing documents. Our
MCC Board implemented a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Policy in September 2006.
And despite clear language in the policy that the disclosure form is to be signed and
returned within 30 days of their appointment, Richard Mackey signed on Sunday, March
30, 2008, more than six months late, and John Parrinello finally signed on May 23,
2008, almost two full academic years late.
As you make recommendations and decisions on new board appointments, please keep
these statements in mind. Thank you.
