IS THERE A TSC PROFESSOR KIKO RENDON IN THE WORKS?

(Ed.'s Note: Someone sent us this photo of Texas Southmost College board president Kiko Rendon and college president Lily Tercero decked out in their academic garb and wondered aloud is there are plans for Kiko to join the faculty there when he completes his doctoral work. We haven't been able to track Kiko down to ask him if if he's contemplating an academic career over at TSC or if he is contemplating running for another six-year term when his term expires in 2016. Meanwhile, however, things seem to be chummy between the board and community college president. Tercero, who came in with the full support of the board when she was hired, is now having to bear some grumbling from some of the members over her governing style. However, from the looks of it, she is OK by Rendon.)

Knowing Frank, he will be given an administrative position. AVP of something and eventually take the top job. I saw him a couple of weeks ago rear end a Cameron county sheriffs car a minor bump. I guess he wasn't paying attention he had his iPhone head phones on.

Better that he get a minimum wage job somewhere else....the pay would be pretty much the same.

Kiko is a fine man and has done a great deal to recover TSC from the hands of Juliet Garcia....who only wanted the tax ability and the property. Now that Juliet has lost her "partnership" she will step down....and try to establish a "think tank" for UT here in the RGV. Can't think of a less likely place to find people to fill a "think tank"....unless she collects all the Democrats that have held office and gets them to write about how they fooled the people of the valley for so many years. Mary Rose Kardenas will surely sit at Juliet's side.

I scratch your back and you scratch mine. That is the attitude at the time while the student's interests are not cared for by this pair. Anything for a free meal or trip.

Kiko is a fine man.. Ask all those people he and his wife have asked for Money loans and never Ever paid them. Kiko is a free loader that is what he is lives way above his means and pretends to be something he is not. Rumors are that he is enriching himself from deals he is making with some vendors, The rest of the board just say yes. Remember that is how Villalobos rumors started and then HELLO it was true. I do not put anything past slick KIKO.

Mr. Rendon is in a PhD program in Leadership Studies. It is offered by Our Lady of the Lake University out of San Antonio, but the classes (these days) are in La Feria. OLLU is a respected, very small Catholic educational institution on the west side of San Antonio.

Why would any serious student wish to be taught by a neophyte? It seems that anyone who receives a doctorate in south Texas is automatically qualified to teach and conduct research at a post-secondary education institution. As to the doctoral program at Our Lady of the Lake University, it is over priced and offers little of substance. Many of its participants were rejected by serious and rigorous doctoral programs north of the King Ranch. At one time the majority of its faculty were recent graduates were alumni of that same program. By the way, the title of "professor" is not used at the community college level and is rather left to the purview of the research universities.
