As a county freeholder for five years I have become a supporter of Warren County Community College during my time in office. Recently, a part-time adjunct instructor, Mr. John Daly responded to a student’s invitation to attend a student club event sponsored by Young Americans for Freedom. After reading Mr. John Daly’s e-mail response I feel personally offended and believe that no student of our college should have to endure such an outrageous assault. Further, I feel our troops and our leaders have been wrongfully maligned. As a leader in Warren County concerned with the use of our tax dollars, I am even more offended that our taxes have gone to support his malicious rhetoric.
However, I can assure all Warren County residents that this part-time adjunct instructor for the college does not represent the views of the college, President Austin, or the board of trustees, many of whom I voted to appoint.
I have complete confidence in the College administration and their ability to investigate this situation and handle it judiciously and expeditiously. The college President has assured me that the investigation has been elevated to ensure the safety of all concerned. Warren County Community College has become a college that serves our community and one that we should continue to proudly support. As college liaison, I am continuously in communication with President Austin and he is keeping me well informed. Although I cannot personally be satisfied with the outcome at this point, I know that he, his administration, and the Board will resolve this issue as quickly as is legally possible.
