¡VIVA TSC! GO LILY TERCERO! NOW IS THE TIME TO RESTORE TSC TO ITS FORMER GLORY!
ah poor me (julietta) TSC is to blame for all these layoffs and what nots? not UTB and me hell we have always enjoyed the partnership because it allowed us to chingar la pobre gente. Julietta & UTB time to pay up bitch, you all need to pay those $15 million owed to TSC and the taxpayers, no se angan pendejos. no anda con quentos y laverintos, y anden ah cantiflanda, pay up bitch
The only employees that will automatically receive jobs at TSC are those who were employed by TSC before the TSC/UTB partnership.
All the rest have to stand in line with everybody else in the community and apply.
Sr. CantiNflas (you cannot even spell your name correctly)
I have to say this is the best pocho Spanish I have seen in a long time. Must be exciting to be bi-illiterate; just think, dumb in two languages.
At present Julieta Garcia is playing the "victim" in these layoffs. She is promoting a negative public feeling for TSC, but in the end, President Tercero will be well received as she re-hires those Julieta let go, and as the programs they supported not only continue in TSC, but expand to better benefit the community and the TSC students. Julieta is like a wife in a bad divorce....it was all the fault of the other side.
Sr. Cantiflas must be a UTB graduate! The infamous bi-cultural, bi-literal university for the mojados that juliet caters to! Puro government grant money down the drain!!!
6.36 well you did understand my mensaje right o no? Cantiflas
tsc will survive 3 years at most without UT. Best solution would be to turn it into a basic trade school and teach muffler and AC repair. There are excellent first class community collage choices up the valley. The smarter students will end up there. tsc was an embarrassment to the whole great UT system. UT tried to give tsc a hand up but it's low student standards could not be saved. Nothing more than an extension of a poor bisd education. Where do you think the crap bisd teachers and administrators come from? Viva the return of tamale tech. Did I spell tamale correctly ? I did not go to school there.

Ignorant, hate-mongering bitch, go jump in the river.
Tamale is spelled correctly, collage is not, it is spelled COLLEGE. Where did you go to school?
TSC was in existence before UT graced our fine community with its delusions of grandeur. UT or no UT, TSC will go on three days, three years, three decades from now.
Dearest 8:29 AM
While you did not attend TSC I did. I spent my first two years there and went on to complete my Bachelors, Masters and Doctor's degrees at very good universities. In my entire academic career, I never felt like I was shorted by my two years at "Tamale Tech".
I use "Tamale Tech" not in a disparaging way, but it is a term of endearment to me. The new TSC won't be the same as the old TSC as this is a new age. However, I do expect for the new TSC to be a credit to those who have labored long and hard before, to make quality education available to the students of Cameron County.
It is clear to me that you are "not from these parts" as you seem to look down at us. Indeed we are a different place, but different does not mean inferior. I am not "Hispanic" but one of those Gringos that grew up here, call this place home and seek to improve the lots of all folks here with no regard to ethnic background.
There is not, and should not be, anything "automatic" about rehiring former TSC employees whose employment date precedes the putative "partnership".
It is my understanding (and I am one of them) that they will receive their rightful place at the front of the line of applicants, nothing more. Most of us are still capable and willing to make a contribution to the community, but there are some, and most of us know who they are, who should not be reemployed under any circumstances. TSC, be fair but firm. Vet candidates thoroughly, you owe it to our community and our children.
TSC did not have to wait to offer jobs to UTB employees. One reason for waiting to see who was going to be laid off....is that if they know they are going to be laid off they may accept a much lower salary.
TSC should start teaching a coruse on those electric windmills repairs becasue yougot plenty of them in willacy county and sooner than later those things will need maintenace, repairs etc, this would be a great 2 year certification program TSC should implement for the students and those jobs pay good money, just check it out.
