WILL OLIVEIRA TURN HIS BACK ON TSC IN FAVOR OF GARCIA'S PARTNERTSHIP?
By Juan Montoya Even though the majority of the Texas Southmost Ciollege board of trustees has made it clear that it will not accept TSC-UTB president Juliet Garcia's "partnership" proposal that would dissolve the college district and hand over all the assets to the UT System, a bill filed by State Rep. to fund the partnership will be heard this Wednesday in Austin. Currently, negotiators for both entities are in negotiations to determine t

Since the "partnership" was an agreement between UT System and TSC....does this mean the state will dictate a partnership? Obviously Rene Oliviera is supporting David Oliviera, but how does this bill force TSC to roll over and bow down to Juliet and her "committee". This is surely an issue for local control and local determination. Juliet is a hired hand, and the legislature should ignore her and leave the TSC issue to our elected officials. David Oliviera and Bobby Robles should take their arrogance and sit on it. They are willing to give up the community college just for the prestige of a UT campus....one that in 20 years has only graduated 17% of its students. We need TSC!
Very Simple:
The voters put Torres, Adela, Trey and Kiko.
The Voters got rid of Ortiz and
the Voters can get rid of Oliveira!
Simple as that
Oliveira turned his back on TSC a long time ago.
Oliveira's job is to protect TSC AND UTB. Seems he is only concerned with protecting UTB. Any word on more "secret" meetings? I suppose Oliveira is having many.
Where has Lucio been? Indeed, where have any of the Lucios been? Have they been looking out for anyone besides themselves? I doubt it.
Oliverga.
Oliveira never listens. He is too important. He does not take orders from anyone except Juliet, Robles and David. They tell him what to do and when to do it. He can't think for himself. Well, really, he can't think. Too much during college.
