Dear Supervisor Mandelman,
At the forum on February 22nd ("Making Sense of What's Happening at City College") you made a very valid point about the need to have a panel that includes the City College Administration and the Board of Trustees--and I think you also said the mayor.
As you know, I tried very hard to get someone from the Administration and Board of Trustees there, and Leslie Milloy told me no one from the Administration was available on the date of our meeting (always the fourth Saturday of the month). She asked about March, and I did send out a message to her shortly after the panel, which generated so much interest. She hasn't responded yet.
I started contacting people in early January, and the only two trustees who even responded to the invitation to participate on February 22nd were Ivy Lee and John Ricco, neither of whom was available that day.
Now we'd like to endorse and help promote a more inclusive panel. Do you have any suggestions on how we could proceed? We really do think that we as tax payers who always support City College should be given a forum to hear several perspectives and have the chance to ask questions.
Could you, Joe Adkins, Erin Mundy, Tom Temprano and others on your staff help make this happen?
What we envision is a major panel discussion at the Koret Auditorium again on making sense of what's happening at City College--perhaps indicating that this is a forum the citizens of San Francisco are calling for. We want civil discourse, and we also want to assert our rights as citizens to be informed.
We would be very grateful for your help with this. I know we can't really schedule anything until we know about the coronavirus, but I'd like to start getting the "team" together.
Many thanks,
Tina Martin
