One year later we learned that despite these sacrifices, the deficit is worse than ever. How is it possible that the deficit grew after frontline staff took pay cuts, layoffs, and we were all forced to do more with less? Where did the money go? Our union has asked this question for months. Since the February Board of Trustees meeting our union has repeatedly made our position clear: we demand financial transparency in the form of line-item accounting for how overspending occurred, and what the funds were used for. Chancellor Rimando-Chareunsap responded with union-busting by chilling union speech with divide and conquer tactics and no real answers. It is impossible for the Washington Federation of State Employees to keep faith that this chancellor’s continued leadership will better our college system. Inasmuch, the Washington Federation of State Employees makes a call of “No Confidence” in Chancellor Rimando-Chareunsap’s leadership. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/seattle-college-district-petition-of-no-confidence
