Does huge salary draw applicants like bees to honey? In August ACCT Consultant said ACCT did not keep records regarding total applications so how is the new “record” achieved?
It was reported at the Governing Board meeting November 13 that Yavapai Community College had received 77 applications for the president’s position. The announcement triggered two thoughts: First, Pam Fisher, the ACCT Search Consultant retained by Yavapai Community College to help with its presidential search, who moderated the Verde Valley citizen forum August 27, was specifically asked at the meeting about rumors that applications for the position were down. She explained to the group that the ACCT did not keep records regarding total applications. Therefore, the rumor had no basis one way or the other.
Now, on November 13 Pat McCarver says the ACCT told her that the College had a record number of applications. So the question: If no record is kept, as told to us in August, how did the College break the record in November? Or, is this another misunderstanding?
Second, did the $280,000 dollar salary drawing applicants like bees to honey? Should it be reduced?
