Dear members of the Pasadena City College Board of Trustees:

Attached please find copies of a series of letters written by Pasadena City College faculty members, explaining why each of them chose to support a vote of no confidence in President Mark W. Rocha. These letters were written in direct response to some individual Board members’ and President Rocha’s disparaging public comments dismissing the significance of this historic vote by PCC faculty members.

We hope that this sampling of powerful letters written by concerned faculty will allow you, the Board members, to perceive a truthful portrait of the far-reaching and complex disturbances that trouble this campus under the leadership of President Mark Rocha.

We hope that each of you will respect the spirit in which these letters were written to inform each of you and to enable you to better comprehend the profound dimensions of this college crisis.

Sincerely yours,

Mary-Erin Crook, Languages Division

Jill O’Hora, English Division

Pat Rose, English Division
