GOOD AFTERNOON:
Board of Regeants
Faculty
Staff
Students
And Community Members

I am honored to be here this afternoon to discuss the concerns that have risen during my term as Student Senate
President. I would like to begin by thanking you for this opportunity to present these concerns with you. Today I
come before you to explain why we voted No Confidence against the NNMC administration and to advocate for
the programs that the Northern Administration wants to cut.

First, Id like to read Northerns Mission and Vision statement.
Mission
The mission of Northern New Mexico College is to ensure student success by providing access to
affordable community-based, learning opportunities that meet the educational, cultural and economic
needs of the region.
Vision
Northern New Mexico College is a Hispanic and Native American-serving comprehensive institution that
will be recognized nationally for cultural sustainability, quality student learning and developing
economically stron communities among diverse populations.
TUITION:

Table 1. Tuition increases for the past five years.

Since Dr. Barcelo has been the President of NNMC, the tuition has gone up twice; first it more than doubled and it
became a flat tuition rate for upper and lower division courses, second it increased by nearly 14%. Now the NNMC
administration is proposing another 5% increase.

During these tuition increases, we have lost a substantial amount of students since our enrollment in 2010.

The bundle plan that is being proposed is a dangerous idea. (1) We will not know where money is going, or how it
is being divided amongst the departments. (2) How will the tuition increase affect nonresidential New Mexicans?
(3) Some financial aid requires that tuition and fees remain separate. (4) Where are fees going now?

It is also the intention of the current NNMC administration to increase classes offered in degree programs. How
can we Increase the amount of classes offered when student enrollment is low and we cannot fill all of these
2 | P a g e

additional classes? If the administration plans on increasing tuition by the proposed 5%, and project that we will
lose 5% of current enrollment, how does the administration plan on filling these courses? Especially when our
current enrollment is approximately 875 students.

The possibility of raising tuition yet again, not only goes against our mission, but we are losing students; students
who can no longer afford NNMC classes. And in doing so, these students are forced to find more affordable
education elsewhere.

DEGREES AND SERVICES:

Another reason why students are leaving is due to the lack of services for the current amount of tuition and fees
that students must pay.

NNMC UNM NMSU
Certificates 29 9 0
Associate Degrees 48 1 9
Bachelor Degrees 10 90 92
Masters Degrees 0 75 62
Ph. D 0 40 26
Doctorals 0 5 0
Dual/Joint Degree Programs 0 0 11
Graduate Certificate Programs 1 11 8
Table 2. Comparison of program offerings at NNMC, UNM (main), and NMSU. (Numbers are based on website catalogs.)

The amount of services provided by these other institutions are vaster than the amount of student services offered
by Northern New Mexico College; especially with the proximity in tuition and fees.

The areas affected by the loss of services, and tuition hikes are students, programs, the community, and the
college. Services that have been misrepresented or lost under the current NNMC administration:
Developmental Studies Department
Comprehensive Tutoring (which used to be I & G funded)
SOL
Integrated Health Studies, Spanish Colonial Furniture Making
Diversity programs through Title V
Graduate level programs through Title V
TESOL/Bilingual Programs
Sostenga
Commercial Kitchen
Hazmat Training

PROGRAMS BEING CUT:

These are the current programs that are currently under the scope of the NNMC administration:
Auto Mechanics
Construction Trades
Cosmetology (rumored)
Radiologic Technology
Day Care Center -- NAEYC Accredited

SALARIES:

With the increase in fees, decrease in student services, the VP of Finance, Domingo Sanchez III stated that we are
still trying to dig our way out of a deficit. However, Table 3 clearly outlines the top administrator at NNMC, whom
have all been give multiple raises, while many faculty and staff are still working at poverty level wages. Table 4
reflects the salaries of the NNMC faculty staff which can be found in the reference section of this document for
comparison in raises amongst top administrators and the rest of the employees. This does not include the
approximate 70 staff, faculty and middle managers have been let go under this administration.

Table 3. Salaries of top administrators and assistants that have receive dramatic raises.

COMPLAINTS:

The complaints that come from students include:
Accessibility to programs is limited and some courses that are needed to graduate students are not
be offered.
With tuition and fees always rising, affordable is not corresponding with the NNMC mission
statement.

We are a community based institution and in rural New Mexico, which is the population we serve,
not all the members of the community want a higher degree. The technical vocational trade
programs are there for them to become successful business people in this community by getting their
operating licenses and opening up a business for themselves.
Some of these programs are already accredited and should be offered to students because these
programs, ie Radiology opens doors not just in the hospitals by at LANL and government agencies in
radiation protection programs, etc.
There is no transparency of the operations of the administration.
There is no trust in the administration.
Salary matrices for administrators and staff are uncomprehensive.
State, Community, Faculty, and Student Confidence has been lost.
So, by cutting these programs this institution is limiting the community/students to a successful career of their
choice. This institution is taking away the mission statement that has been followed successfully throughout the
years and in the last four years the school has been directed away from its own mission statement.

ARTICLES:

Below are several recent articles posted by The Rio Grande Sun and one from the Santa Fe New Mexican; which
implicate the NNMC administration in several egregious actions. This issue alone stands against our mission and
vision statements. The NNMC administration is directly responsible for the image of the institution to the
community.

No Confidence in Northern

By R. Braiden Trapp
Published:
Thursday, April 17, 2014 10:05 AM MDT
Tuition is too high.

Services are sliding.

Administrators get raises, yet you rely on adjunct professors to teach for a fraction paid to a fully-qualified
teacher.

Students and teachers are afraid to speak against the administration and Board of Regents.
The administrations plan to combine fees and tuition will create problems for students on financial aid
programs because some mandate fees and tuition remain separate.

These are some of the problems Northern New Mexico Colleges Student Senate and Faculty Senate cited in
separate meetings held April 11 and 4 respectively. The Student Senate issued a vote of no confidence in the
administration and Regents. The Faculty Senate is set to hold a campus-wide vote Wednesday (4/16).

Vice President of spin and trying to save us mere mortals Ricky Sernas reaction? Both bodies violated the states
Open Meetings Act. Look up "pot calling the kettle black." You'll find Ricky's picture there.

To begin, neither the Student Senate nor the Faculty Senate are obliged to abide by the Act. They may, if they so
choose. However, the members are exclusive (students and faculty, respectively) and the decisions they make,
dont affect the public. Those decisions affect the exclusive members.

5 | P a g e

But what must be pointed out here is that Ricky was picking nits, and the wrong ones. While Ricky was trying to
get the bulk of the colleges population to follow a law it doesnt need to follow, he was missing a vital message.

In a rather unified voice the students and the faculty were agreeing the administration is inept and the Regents
are no better. Ricky should have been spinning that.

Many students and faculty have spoken much more loudly than a vote of no confidence. Theyve left.

That message cant be any more clear or loud. While Northerns full-time enrollment dropped from 1,251 to 975
in three years the administration and Regents have focused on dorms, building more buildings and trying to filter
all its sins. Northern suffered a 57 percent decrease in the number of first-time college students attending classes
and they answered by cutting classes and raising tuition and fees twice.

A systematic and deliberate process of eliminating teachers who would not go along with the administrations
plans has resulted in a group of pretty pissed off teachers who are tired of being lied to, stepped on, told to shut
up and denied more money while those who fall in line with administration are rewarded.

Before more students and faculty exercise their right to attend college or work elsewhere, Northerns Board of
Regents needs to take these two votes of no confidence seriously, compose a plan to address the complaints and
stop trying to sweep injustices under the carpet and write it off as a few malcontents.

Regents also need to realize Ricky is doing them no favors with the spin he tries to cast in our office, classrooms
on campus or in rhetoric spewed through Northerns web site. Its insulting to faculty, students and those of us at
the SUN that hes convinced himself hes the smartest person in the room and that the rest of us just dont
understand whats going on.

Run College As a Business
By Guy Stark
Published:
It is amazing. I am a student at Northern New Mexico College and I am curious: where do my tuition dollars go?

This is not my 1st go round as a student as I have multiple degrees from other institutions such as Arizona State
University and University of California at Los Angeles, but I have never witnessed such a lack of effort from an
educational institution as I have from Northern.

It comes from the top down in this tiny school, who claims to have an enrollment of nearly 1,000, but frankly I
am here every day and see, on average, approximately 40 students, and always the same students. The staff seems
to far out-number the students and all they tend to do is sit around and talk.

Today I witnessed the janitorial and facilities staff just sitting in the common area talking without a care in the
world as to who would see them. But, why would they care? There is no leadership within this administration to
hold them accountable. In fact, I rarely see the administration, unless they are soliciting the Board of Regents for
another tuition hike.
If this institution was a business, its Board of Directors would have demanded the head of the president, deans
and others in leadership roles.

So where are my tuition dollars going? Certainly not to an educational institution that is concerned for the
students they are employed to serve. It is to simply line their pockets and do as little work as possible.

Fees, By Any Other Name,
Remain Fees

By R. Braiden Trapp
Published:
Leave it to Northern New Mexico College and its creative accounting to concoct a tuition scheme that
incorporates fees. While Northerns vice president for creative problem-solving Ricky Serna did his best soft shoe
selling the idea to the regents April 2, we were left wondering if they could actually sneak this by the state Higher
Education Department.

We were shocked regent Michael Branch dared to question whether this would pass the Departments smell
test. Branch usually is the one hatching these ideas, not poo-pooing them.

Branch wanted to know what assurances the regents had that the Department wouldnt see through Rickys
scheme and say, Hey, you guys are hiding student fees, were not paying that.

Serna had some handy advice. I want to warn you about asking for their blessing because sometimes when you
ask, you relinquish the power as regents to set the cost of enrollment.
Ricky is no dummy. There are two messages in that statement. The first follows the old adage, Its easier to ask
forgiveness than permission.

The second was a play for regents egos. Ricky was telling them theyre the boss, not the Department. You dont
want to give up your vast control of this fiefdom to the Department do you? Be the powerful leaders you are and
make this decision without asking the state to agree to it.

Of course the problem isnt the state or the regents. Its the lottery scholarship itself. There are myriad rules
attached to having your tuition paid by it. One financial aid manager said tuition and fees would have to be
separated. That makes sense. Then the scholarship will pay the tuition.

Its clear hes on a campaign, selling his idea in classrooms to students. Judging by the comments made online
after last weeks story about the ruse, students arent buying it.

Rickys not the first to try an end run on scholarships or state funding in general. Almost every university or
college in the state has come up with creative ideas to perhaps put offices in stadiums and call them classrooms or
keep empty buildings on the books to keep that maintenance funding rolling in. Calling an expense something its
not is as old as accounting itself.

Abuse of the lottery scholarship is as old as the scholarship. Thats why were in the situation were in, where
solid, honest students with a desire to attain a degree are competing for limited dollars going to unprepared
students making a half-hearted attempt to struggle through basic classes.

More abuse of the scholarship wont make things better for all, it will make it much worse for the bona fide
students capable of doing the work but incapable of paying tuition.

Scholarships are not meant to pay for everything. Almost all are directed at tuition. Its up to students and their
families to come up with housing, textbooks, the many fees, food and creature comforts.

Ricky needs to go back and try again. Student regent Jamie Salazar made a very good point after Rickys show.
She said addressing the money thing was well and good but students arent getting the classes they need to
7 | P a g e

graduate. Theyre considering going elsewhere.

Quite a few of them (classes) collapsed this semester, she said.

Of course thats a function of the financial picture but Rickys idea to make school more affordable by rolling
fees into tuition wont address the drop in enrollment and loss of needed classes.
Its a chicken and egg thing. Does the college add back the classes to attract the students, or does the college
play the ponzi scheme with tuition/fees and hope the students will return, enabling Northern to add the lost
classes?
The state Department on Higher Education will have the answer for Ricky.

Tuition hike, layoffs at Northern New Mexico College spark protest
ESPAOLA Northern New Mexico College students joined forces with faculty members Thursday to protest
plans to lay off 22 employees and raise tuition another 14 percent for the 2013-14 school year.
Juan Diaz, who is working on a bachelors degree in mathematics, picketed with about a dozen others at the
entrance to the Espaola campus.
I am in opposition to this outrageous tuition rate increase, he said. The administration says its just going to be
a 14 percent increase, which its not. They are not including the hidden fees.
For example, he said, tuition for the one class hes taking this summer costs $101, but the fees are $143.
Diaz said the higher tuition and fees are on top of steeper hikes in recent years. Tuition was $57 per credit hour in
2010, then almost doubled the next year, he said.
Samuel LeDoux, a Namb resident who is working on his business administration degree while serving as acting
chairman of the Santa Fe County Republican Party, said he was protesting the schools lack of transparency.
Although school officials mentioned at previous public hearings that they would be cutting some programs, never
was this mentioned about cutting the jobs, he said.
The Republican Party usually doesnt agree with unions on much. But our government needs to be as open as
possible in order to benefit all the citizens because the government works for the citizens. We dont work for the
government.
Heather Winterer, a professor of English and humanities, said she expects to get tenure after five years, but fears
her outspokenness might jeopardize her position.
There have been a lot of kind of capricious hirings and firings, all without rhyme or reason, she said. Sometimes
there will be a search committee and sometimes someone will just show up for work hired by them. And, of
course, you know that people have been fired here who are very, very valuable to the school.
8 | P a g e

For example, administration employee Lisa Duran had a flawless record, but was let go in pure retaliation for
speaking out against an administrator at a recent public meeting, Winterer said.
Tim Crone, who has taught sociology and anthropology at the school for nearly 40 years, is currently the president
of the American Federation of Teachers union local. He said the last time faculty members picketed was in 1999
when the Public Employee Bargaining Act ended and the school elected to discontinue its union contract.
Also that year, we either got an insignificant raise or no raise and the president at the time [Sigfredo Maestas] got
a raise of 22.2 percent, Crone said.
Thursday was orientation day for new students, so the current college president, Nancy Rusty Barcelo, was not
available for comment. But Ricky Serna, vice president for advancement, agreed to respond to the criticisms.
He said the schools budget set to begin July 1 calls for eliminating 21 not 22 staff positions, but no faculty
positions. These range from the dean of academic support services to lowest-tier jobs.
Asked whether Duran was fired in retaliation for speaking out, Serna said, Thats never a driving force for any of
the decisions we make. I wont speak specifically to a single individual, but I will say broadly the administration
reserves the right, at the end of every fiscal year, to determine which contracts are going to be renewed and which
are not.
Serna said the school has tried to respond to some of the criticisms about the new budget. For example, he said,
original plans called for shutting down a child-development center on campus and eliminating the woodworking
program at El Rito. But after a town hall-style meeting a few weeks ago, both those programs were reinstated.
Unfortunately, he added, keeping those programs means eliminating pay increases for teachers.

GREEN FIRE TIMES
OP-ED: Rethinking Northern New Mexico College
Susan Meredith
Were it not for the fact that Northern New Mexico College in Espaola has been the recipient of enormous sums of
money from the state over its nearly 45 years of existence, and that few other institutions in the valley can serve
as a potent catalyst for positive community development in an otherwise impoverished region, its poor
performance record could be overlooked.
In just the last two years, Northerns enrollment has plummeted, as students are voting with their feet by taking
their tuition dollars to other institutions. Student migration has been prompted, in part, by a recent dramatic hike
in tuition from $36 per credit hour to $114.50, with additional mandatory fees of $500-$600 slapped on top of this.
The college could be justified in assessing such onerous increases if it were indeed offering an improved product.
Instead there has been a wholesale elimination of programs and personnel and little or no improvement in course
offerings or services that directly benefit students. Not surprisingly, NNMC was recently singled out as the states
higher learning institution receiving the largest number of complaints.
It appears that the heart of the problem today is the lack of community concern amongst its current leaders. There
is no evidence of an ethic of service-minded leadership, nor is there a palpable love and excitement for learning
and the furthering of human potential among them. It also appears that there is resistance by the college
leadership to engage the community at large in genuine ways to create a vision and implement a plan for the
college that meets the needs and aspirations of the areas people.

After 45 years in operation, the college is known more for its fiscal difficulties than for the strength of its academic
programs. Its buildings and grounds exude an air of sterility and vacuity. Northerns president and Board of
Regents have taken the approach of eliminating longstanding programs, staff and faculty as quickly and ruthlessly
as possible, while at the same time promising miracle cures that would come by building dormitories and by
merely naming themselves university rather than college.
NNMC is embedded in a distinctive geographic landscape. The population it serves is one of multiple cultural
identities, each of which has distinct and specific needs. The college would do well to reflect on each of the
realities that comprise our world and tailor its approach to provide meaningful and creative learning approaches in
order to reach all of its students.
There are many in this community who believe in Northern as a precious resource that deserves to be salvaged. It
is unfortunate that members of the current administration have proved themselves either unwilling or incapable
9 | P a g e

of guiding the college and making it a productive resource for our state. There are numerous talented and
deserving individuals in this area, young and older, who look to the college to provide them with the education and
skills they need to be more productive and better serve their community. There are an equal number of
committed citizens who would love to serve their community by participating in the mission of making the college
a welcoming and enlightened space for students, citizens and employees alike.
Despite all of the above, the community is not completely without hope. Recently, the governor appointed and the
Senate unanimously approved two new members to Northerns Board of Regents. The air is now one of anxious
anticipation that a changing of the guard in the board composition will inspire a change of focus from status quo to
that of open and compassionate management.
Now is the time for Northern to fling wide open its doors to listen to community voices and make use of its
collective knowledge in deciding how to provide excellent-quality training and leadership in the study of and
creative interaction with ecosystems, land grants, traditional communities in transition, forests, alternative energy,
green building, permaculture, agriculture, food production and preparation. A strong sustainable agricultural
initiative could greatly assist in protecting the areas population as we face the reality of resource scarcity. With
the help of a committed and compassionate college this area could explore alternatives to job creation that have
consumerism as the foundation, and instead look at developing and sustaining the resources that are here. That
means honoring traditional ways of knowledge and improving education in new sustainable practices.
One such initiative could be the development of a progressive and dynamic business school with a mission to
inspire students to take on the challenge of understanding the city and regions elusive business climate and help
them participate in the rebuilding of the economy. By engaging students in conducting incisive studies, interviews
and dialogue, business incubation models and decisive community service learning projects, the college could
inject vitality back into the community. Considering the age in which we live, the college must also choose to
facilitate students entry into the global arena by weaving the strands of global cultures, languages, diplomacy,
international politics and social work into its curriculum.
Given that Northern was originally founded more than 100 years ago with the mission of training teachers to serve
the regions Spanish-speaking population, we must not overlook the possibility of founding a Spanish language
center of national importance, along with working museums that reflect the many important aspects of northern
New Mexico cultures. In this same vein, a vital and dynamic fine arts center that recognizes and promotes the
traditional arts of northern New Mexico must be created for the benefit of the local communities. Instead of
shuttering programs such as Spanish Colonial Furniture Making and Ro Grande Weaving, the College needs to
make space on its current campus for them so they are more accessible to a greater number of people.
We must identify and define what the new technical trades and vocations might be for this area and in this age and
offer them with inspired and competent personnel. Such an initiative could go far in reviving the schools
community mission of providing viable trades to members of the northern New Mexico community.
But whatever it does, it is incumbent upon the leaders of the college to forge a collective will to care for, even love,
serve and benefit the people and land of northern New Mexico. We must insist that they create a deeply
meaningful and vital learning process in which the areas greatest challenges are addressed and its greatest
strengths and resources employed. Such a process might yet succeed in establishing a learning-centered climate
that benefits the community instead of one in which individual egos and the bureaucratic machinery drive the
majority of its functions eclipsing the best of what students, teachers, community have to offer. Poor, battered,
glorious NNMC deserves respect, care, love and attention from us and from the community leaders amongst us if it
is to survive the current challenges and re-make itself into the community beacon it was meant to be. To fail to do
so is unconscionable.

NNMC teachers vote no confidence in administrators
Northern New Mexico College faculty, in a vote Wednesday, expressed no confidence in five leaders at the
Espaola school.
The action comes on the heels of a faculty letter charging President Nancy Rusty Barcelo and others with
fostering a state of financial chaos, doubt, uncertainty, and fear of retaliation and citing concerns about declining
enrollment, overspending, a lack of pay raises and management of the budget.

and tablet.
To some degree, the move mirrors events at Santa Fe Community College over the past year, when staff and
faculty voiced concern about decisions made under former president Ana Cha Gzman at that campus. That
board last year voted to terminate Gzmans contract, eventually paying her a $500,000 settlement.
Tim Crone, a faculty member who has taught at the Espaola campus for about 40 years, said the vote as well as
a recent Student Senate vote of no confidence in two of the same five administrators is a clear message to the
Northern New Mexico College Board of Regents that the school community does not have confidence in this
administrations ability to take care of business. He said tension and declining morale have been building over the
past several years.
Ricky Serna, vice president for advancement at Northern and one of the five administrators targeted by the vote
said Wednesday afternoon that the schools leaders question the validity of many of the accusations. Some of
them are completely untruthful, he said. Some are opinions at best. Others are misrepresentations of what is
actually happening.
Rosario Chayo Garcia, who chairs the Board of Regents, said in a phone interview that the facultys concerns do
not ring true, except for those regarding increased tuition and declining enrollment. She said the board is very
confident in Barcelos leadership and that the tension may be a result of growing pains as the college looks to
expand programming and grow into a true university.
Its something typical, she said of the facultys action.
Barcelo came on board as Northerns president in 2010. Staff and faculty criticisms of the schools leadership
started as early as 2012. And in the spring of 2013, many of the schools staff and students joined forces to stage a
public protest in response to rising tuition rates, layoffs of about 20 employees and declining enrollment.
Serna acknowledged student enrollment has dropped in past years to about 750 full-time students now and
that the school raised tuition by more than 13 percent this year. But he said the school is working on a plan to level
out tuition and service fees, and to decrease fees to save students about $115 per semester. But the Board of
Regents would have to approve such a plan before it could go into effect.
He said other accusations are untrue, such as the charge that the school has overspent in the past five years or has
raised administrative salaries while ignoring the need to raise staff and faculty salaries. He said audits of the
schools finances before 2010 indicate the school had overspent in the past, and school leaders had to address
those financial gaps over the past few years.
Joel Martinez and Samuel Ledoux, who lead the Student Senate on campus, said Wednesday that student services
have been decreasing and that the college continues to drop popular programs, decreasing options for students.
Both said rising tuition has driven some students away.
Serna said the college has dropped some classes, but only those that have few students enrolled sometimes
fewer than five.
Ledoux said Serna attended a Student Senate meeting several weeks ago and told the assembly, If you dont have
anything good to say about the college, dont say anything at all. Both he and Martinez said Barcelo does not
encourage an open-door policy and is rarely seen by students on campus.
Serna disputed Ledouxs comments. He said following a disagreement over some online posts Ledoux made about
the college to stir up student dissent, he asked Ledoux to sometimes promote the college. When Ledoux said he
would not use his position to promote the college, Serna said he told Ledoux, Then it is not fair to put it down.
Crone said there are more than 50 faculty members at the college, and about 67.5 percent of them voted
Wednesday, with 85 percent of those voting no confidence and 11 percent abstaining. Just one staffer voted
with confidence, he said. Crone said some staff members indicated they would not vote out of fear of retaliation.
Serna said the college employs about 200 people.
The school was founded in 1909 as the Spanish American Normal School and has gone through changes in both
identity and mission over the past century. In 2005, the school received authority to offer bachelors degree
programs. It has a branch campus in El Rito and has an annual operating budget of about $11 million.

Millions Moved, Crisis Questioned
Since implementing an accounting and student information software called Banner in 2005, Northern New Mexico
