Kathryn Palmer A community group including some current and former Pima Community College board members held a news conference Thursday to call for Chancellor Lee Lambert's resignation ahead of the college's board election in November.
As candidates have spent the past year fundraising to support their campaigns — Clinco raised more than $156,000 with big donations from local business owners — a community group known as the People4PCC has vocalized what it perceives as Lambert’s poor leadership of the college. At the news conference, Mario Gonzales and other members of the group accused Lambert of a lack of transparency in his management of taxpayer money, prioritizing the buildout of his Centers of Excellence project while eliminating other courses students need, and factionalizing three members of the board.
In response to the group’s call for Lambert's resignation, the college told the Arizona Daily Star that the People4PCC's accusations are not true. In March, an accreditation team made a focused visit to the college to determine if the board “is autonomous to make decisions in the best interest of the institution in compliance with board policies and to ensure the institution’s integrity.”
