Or, do you want to be caught up in internal politics and divisiveness that will essentially make this fine institution, the Highland Park of Mid-Michigan. We have a man of honor, a man of integrity, a man of dedication, and I salute you, Jim. I'm proud to be affiliated with working with your staff. I would ask you members of the Board, those of you who made have made up your minds already to fire this man, to reconsider. If you are people of honor, people of integrity, people of humility because you are public servants, you will know that you have a great man as your president.
Presidents are few and far between.
They're hard to come by and it's very rare that you have a man that understands the needs of business, the needs of the community, the needs of families throughout the service area of Lansing Community College. I cannot stand by as a taxpayer, and as a concerned citizen, to see a fine man and his reputation dragged through the mud. The world knows what is going on in Lansing, Michigan. I would say reconsider. Keep Jim Anderton onboard.
