Up to 5 layoff notices to be sent by March 15
President Gari Browning projects that Ohlone will face a $ 2.5 million budget deficit in 2010-’11. This is a projection that is based upon future decisions by Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger, the state legislature and federal government that are to be made in the midst of the recession. To close the $2.5 million gap, the college set forth various options at the Budget Forum in the Jackson Theater on Monday. Ohlone will replace CIG, a company it contracts with to manage …more |

Karen Luk, accomplished artist
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a common idiom use in everyday life. It is taught in grade school and used in casual conversation; yet, people still tend to peruse over a title without looking past a cover. Karen Luk, whose title is the Student Services Assistant in the Placement Center, is a typical case of a judged book. If one were to look deeper, they would realize that Luk is much more than an Ohlone staff member—she is an artist. Luk’s start in the art world was where everybody starts painting: Kindergarten. Throughout the years, her passion grew and she continued painting. …more |

Ohlone needs to lay out all of its cards now
If you haven’t realized it by now, Ohlone’s in pretty bad shape financially. And there isn’t a thing we can do about it. Since last fall, more than 150 sections have been cut, the men’s and women’s basketball teams have had their seasons shortened, along with baseball and softball, and tennis has been cut from Ohlone after a one-year stint (not too big a surprise, but still, RIP Ohlone tennis.) Last Monday’s budget meeting was supposed to keep the college informed on what’s going on with “The State of Ohlone,” especially during the current budget crisis. Yes, the entire state of California is in a rut, but we’re not talking about California right now, we’re talking about Ohlone. Just a reminder. In the beginning of the semester at the State of the College address, Ohlone College President Dr. Gari Browning described how she wanted to lead a more “transparent” administration, meaning she wanted to be more open about what’s going on with Ohlone. Much like how former Ohlone President Dr. Doug Treadway was. Safe to say, her idea of transparency makes her seem more opaque. …more |
