Under what authority and established procedures has Wanamaker assumed the role of Vice President of Academic Affairs at HutchCC? Why was this done via a secret meeting? Additionally, is this transition aligned with legal and institutional guidelines? The lack of transparency in this case means the issues surrounding the ordeal have been left to the imaginations and are likely going to hurt the school or someone’s reputation. Morale is hurting. Public comment will give closure. Stalin would disappear people he didn’t agree with also.
