MESSAGE FROM THE VP OF HUMAN RESOURCES
RE:  NOVEMBER 2 WALKOUT
There has been much discussion amongst our colleagues regarding joining the National Education Association (NEA) in Oakland, California in adopting a resolution to support a student/staff/faculty walkout on November 2. The following message, reviewed by the Office of the Attorney General, Education Division, clearly states our position as a college on this issue.

Shoreline Community College neither supports nor opposes the political message espoused by those faculty and/or students who might wish to participate in the November 2nd walk-out.  However, while the College respects the freedoms of expression and association protected by the First Amendment, those freedoms do not extend to activities that disrupt the educational program.  Faculty members participating in the walk-out will be expected to provide coverage for their classes or to arrange to teach their classes at an alternate time that works for their students. Staff and administrators should receive prior approval from their supervisors of their planned absence. If you have additional questions, please contact the VP of Human Resources Paulette Fleming at pflemin@shoreline.edu.

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT
Re: Combined Fund Drive
Today Shoreline Community College kicks off its 21st annual Washington State Combined Fund Drive.  Shoreline Community College has participated in this statewide effort every year since the beginning, and we are proud of the generosity of our employees to donate to many organizations locally and around the world.  With so many recent tragedies such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita or the earthquake in Pakistan, we are all aware of the importance that each dollar can make to the lives of those in need.

Here at home, we have many families who depend on our support to meet their basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing.  Throughout the state, we have individuals trying to improve their lives by depending on institutions of higher education.  When we give to charities, we help to make a difference in other people’s lives, and we benefit by knowing that we have made that difference.

Thank you for your consideration to support the Combined Fund Drive.  Information will be distributed to you via your CFD Coordinators in the next few days.  If you have questions, please contact Marcie Riedinger at mrieding@shoreline.edu.

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT
Re: Combined Fund Drive
Today Shoreline Community College kicks off its 21st annual Washington State Combined Fund Drive.  Shoreline Community College has participated in this statewide effort every year since the beginning, and we are proud of the generosity of our employees to donate to many organizations locally and around the world.  With so many recent tragedies such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita or the earthquake in Pakistan, we are all aware of the importance that each dollar can make to the lives of those in need.

Here at home, we have many families who depend on our support to meet their basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing.  Throughout the state, we have individuals trying to improve their lives by depending on institutions of higher education.  When we give to charities, we help to make a difference in other people’s lives, and we benefit by knowing that we have made that difference.

Thank you for your consideration to support the Combined Fund Drive.  Information will be distributed to you via your CFD Coordinators in the next few days.  If you have questions, please contact Marcie Riedinger at mrieding@shoreline.edu.
