An unhealthy college culture was established through the use of inmidaon, fear and an abuse of execuve

power. The Former Chancellor engaged in inappropriate, unwanted and unprofessional behavior towards many

employees. Board Members knew about complaints regarding such behaviors as early as 2008, and the Boardfailed to act. Similar complaints went unaddressed by the Board in 2010 and 2011.

The instuonal culture at PCC was shrouded in a shadow of silence that was fostered through a paern of

protecon created by members of the Board of Governors. The culture persists today.

Transparency and openness on the part of the Board is not a part of its working ethic. Past acons of the

Board indicate that secrecy and protecon of individuals is more important than transparency. Some members

of the Board have developed what [the HLC team] describes as a siege mentality. They view those who mightdisagree with them as the opposion.
