Spector Sees Open Handed Equation For PCC Growth
Irwin Leonard Spector, 52, has steered the Maricopa County Community College District for 22 years, expanding from a 10 000 student city college to 33 000 across multiple campuses. Critics label his leadership as an iron hand and top heavy with reorganization, while supporters call him pragmatic, brilliant, and a strong administrator. Faculty morale on the west campus is reported dismal, with concerns over due process, unclear hiring practices, and fear of retaliation during surveys.

Spector faces faculty turmoil and rapid reorganizations
The west campus of Pima Community College endures turmoil since Spector's 1972 arrival. Six directorates were cut to three, with executive dean posts changing six times in four years. Critics blame his divisions strategy for power ails and high turnover. Faculty complain seminars waste time while morale stays low. Spector defends moves as educational and economic necessity and cites a shift to multicampus structure and mini divisions. He says participatory democracy ended with his leadership and credits reforms for college respect and financial stability.

Santa Barbara brush fire not deemed federal disaster
Federal officials recommended against declaring the Santa Barbara brush fire area a federal disaster citing affluence and high insurance coverage. Gov. Brown sought 787200 in emergency housing aid and SBA loans approved, but housing aid was rejected after a review by FDAA and San Francisco officials. Insurance data indicated 90 percent of homes insured and 80 percent with extra living expense coverage. Temporary housing within a 10 to 13 mile radius was deemed available.
