Statement From GCC President Dr. Velvie Green in Response to Inquiries Regarding a Termination Recommendation for Dr. Walter Kehowski
I made the recommendation to terminate Dr. Walter Kehowski after careful consideration of all of the facts including a recommendation by a peer review committee that he had violated the Technology Resource Standards and other District policy.
I wouldn't have made the recommendation if I didn't think the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) had the grounds to terminate Dr. Kehowski.
Dr. Kehowski has chosen to exercise his due process rights and has appealed a letter of intent to terminate his employment, and the matter is set for a hearing on June 5 and 6. The process that is being followed is that which is required by the Residential Faculty Policies, section 3.15.
After the hearing, recommendations will be made to the MCCCD Governing Board by the hearing committee and Chancellor Glasper. Under state law, the ultimate decision regarding employment rests with the members of the MCCCD Governing Board.
The facts that have come out in the media thus far are not complete or accurate, but I cannot comment further on the matter at this time in order to protect the integrity of the process.
