If it is agreed that they should be tri ed, they will then be given an opportunity to s t ate their defense . Commenting on the upcoming impeachm e nts , Carl Ebe rt, ASG vic e-pre s ident sta ted, "I think the impe ac hm e nt proc e dures are necessary. The people involved are faili ng to fulfill their obliga tions as outlined in the constitution." Las t wee k three m e m be r s of the exe cutive council, T.J. F r eeman, for me r treasurer, Gary Young, former m en's s elect r epresentative , and Je a nne She lby, forme r women's select r epresentative, we re impe ached on the sam e grounds of negligence . "The proc e edings could have been run differently," s tated Ebe rt. "Though the people involved we r e notified that they we r e to be impeached I don't think they were aware that they were to be tried, so no one had an ad equate de fe nse.'' "The only position on the c ounci l whic h needs imm ediate r eplace m e nt due to the r e c e nt impeachm ents is the office of the treasure r. A treasurer is needed to make sure that a budge t is s et up for next year," Ebert s a id.

These m e mbers would not have a vote on the c ouncil, hut wou ld run the upcoming ele ctions and judge any pos sible impeachment appe al s .

Administration has rejected the Board's outlined decision-making process, which includes team effort and cooperation with students , c lassified staff, faculty, and administration. He declared that the Budgetary Committee, even though acti ng as an advisory body, "does feel the Admi nistration has an obligation to preseht its views or allow its representative to present these views ... and expect a fair hearing of our views . " One of the reasons cited for the faculty ' s loss of confidence in the good faith of the administration was "the refusal of the administration to accept ce rtain r ecomm endations of the Budgetary Committ ee or to notify the Budge tary Committee of alternate decisions, or even to pre sent this committee's vi ewpoints to the Board . ·• "Complete exclus ion of the faculty and Budgetary Committee" from the dec ision-making procedure s , ''crippling'' the e ffec ti ve nes s of the Budge tary Comm ittee, and r epeated degradation of tne Committee we re the other c laims again s t the admini s tration . 'No substantiation '
As to the above declarations of r e as ons for the loss of c onfide nce , Hube r r epli ed , " The r e is absolute ly no s ubs tanti a tion to thos e ite m s . l feel the bas ic issue is tha t the Budge ta r y Committee feel s it s hould not onl y de c id e on its numbers but the ge ne r al ar eas in whi c h they s hould be . They a ls o feel t ha t each depa rtme nt should come in and make requ es ts in the needs in pe r s onne l , but the admini s tr a tion fee ls t hat is what the Offi ce of the Dean of Ins tructi on is for.. . in othe r word s , I fe el it is a bas ic cha nge in the philosophy of the ins titution." " Thi s is th e onl y Budge ta ry Commi ttee in the c ounty Community college s ys te m that has the sc ope that thi s one do e s: I have no qu a rrel with that, but I'm looking forward to working these things out a nd res olving thi s basic philos ophy, " s aid Dr. Hube r. 'Never been democratic'
Chris Pagakis, a me mber of the fac ulty senate , and the first to make the motion express ed hi s pe r s onal opinion a nd re asons for the motion on the "No Confid ence " vote . ''In m y opinion, the Huber Administration has ne ve r been de moc rati c , it has bee n a game o f r eward s a nd puni s hm e nts. '' He like ned it to "the old she ll game ; where ' s the pea ? " and stressed the fact that in hi s opinion, the "No confidence" vote c am e afte r a "long series of things" a nd the "s pecifics" were what tou c hed it off. In more specific term s , Martinie sa id that the upgrading of Director of Voc ati onal Edu c ation to As sistant Dean had not gone through the usua l facu lty r evie w procedures , nor had the Budge tary Committee ac ted on this matter. New instrudor
Al so, "The Budgetary Committee did not r e commend expa nsion of the English Departme nt. The office of the Dean of Instruc tion authori zed the chairman of that department to proceed with the hiring of an addi tional Engli s h teac he r without regard to the views of the Bud getary Commi ttee nor Board app r oval.'' The ad hoc committee 's desired action asked th at the Board ' 'reaffirm its faith in the team approach to decisionmaking with the views of the students , c lass ifi ed staff and faculty, and admi nistration being exchanged , and that each of these groups be offe r ed an opportu nity to make known its views to the Board; that the Board direct the administration to coope r ate with the student, c lassified staff, a nd fac ulty in this undertaking; that the Board of Trustees appoint one or more of its members to participate with the faculty's ad hoc committee in carrying out its charge to anal yze the strengthening of the Budgetary process. Dr. Huber's reaction
Dr. Huber's r eaction to the desired action was t hat the first and second propositions go without saying and are on-going items. As to the third, "I know the Board members have been a part of it (ad hoc comm ittee ), for example, the Guidelines for Academic Due Process shows this." "The administration r egrets that the faculty members on the Budgetary Committee saw fit to cut the lines of c ommunication by not using faculty recommended and Board approved Due Process procedures to r esolve its concerns about the budgetary process."
