McGuire socked, shocked Lopez picker reformer seventh COD Board Trustee

If College of DuPage Board member Dianne McGuire had any hope ICCB Chair Laz Lopez would pick a seventh Board member favorable to McGuire's Boycott 3 faction, it was quickly dashed with Lopez's pick of likely reformer David Olsen. McGuire quickly criticized Olsen's pick saying 

"There was an opportunity to bring someone to the table with objectivity, neutrality, and perhaps even some educational experience to help the college restore its full accreditation and address the ongoing disagreements between the veteran and the new trustees, But that is not what has occurred."

Considering McGuire's boycott of COD business for 6 weeks, including her letter to Lopez saying she wouldn't work with the Board to do their elected duty of selecting a seventh Board member, is what forced Lopez to make the pick, she shouldn't be surprised. 

It's time for Dianne McGuire and her two fellow boycotters Erin Birt and Joe Wozniak to end their boycott of the entire Board agenda. Coming to one meeting after 6 weeks to pay a few bills and approve a few expenditures is not enough. They must attend every meeting and work with the likely new majority to complete reform at COD. They must make removal of academic probation Job One. They must vote to release transcripts of the 2014 closed Board sessions they attended, which extended former President Breuder's contract, as requested by the DuPage States Attorney. 

From a personal standpoint they need to stop disgracing public service by boycotting their elected duties. They should also personally apologize to the 26 local residents whose resumes to be selected seventh Board member weren't even considered by the Board because of their disgraceful conduct. They still have time to leave office as COD Trustee on a high note. Continuing to trod the low road of boycott, obfuscation and denial won't get them there.
