Retain Proven Leadership for Student Success at SAC

Maria Fernanda Espinosa Cortes

I support Dr. Dela Cruz!

Adela López

Dr. de la Cruz is another example of the Administration's attempts to customize a workforce/staff to manipulate and satisfy their needs, rather than those of students, partners and leaders. She has been recognized for her efforts and performance in supporting the values, the vision and the goals of Student Equity and Accountability. Shameful treatment of a student champion. Que vergüenza!

Maria Estrada

Maria was personally targeted by the chancellor, president and vice president of student services as a retaliation for doing her job and supporting counseling faculty in NOT recommending a recent FT counseling faculty for tenure. They also try to make her a scape goat for a budget shortfall that she had no control over while hypocritically the district is waisting thousands of dollars with lawsuits cause by the bad leadership of the chancellor whicthe board hired and failed to hold accountable.

Pam Hernandez

An injustice to one, is an injustice to everyone.

Mark Canett

I served as an interim manager and Dr. DeLa Cruz was my direct supervisor for a spell. She was kind and constructive but most of all enthusiastic and caring. I’m now back as a classified staff and she is always pleased to see me and has retained her enthusiastic demeanor and care as she always asks how I am doing and how my area is progressing. In my current role, Counseling is crucial so I interact with staff under Dr. Dela Cruz’s guidance daily. It’s apparent they have a leader.

Ruben Alvarez

We must have transparency in public institutions.

Marisol Sanchez

Santa Ana College deserves to have great leadership for the success of the students. Dr. Dela Cruz has led the counseling department and the number of students being supported has grown under her leadership. By removing her, the college leave the department vulnerable and in hands of an administration that has mismanaged the other departments. Santa Ana College needs to maintain excellent leadership, such as Dr. Dela Cruz.

Ana Garcia

At what point do we start questioning the decisions made by administrators and HR? When so many colleagues and students speak up about a leader’s integrity and positive impact, the Board should question not only the decision itself, but how it was reached, whether hidden motives played a role, and whether HR’s processes are working as intended. Who is holding these decision-makers accountable and ensuring fairness, integrity, and transparency?

Jesus Emmanuel

As an Undocu Scholar, Rising Scholar APSP student, and Automotive Technology major, I know how important it is to have someone who advocates for students like me. Dean Dela Cruz cares, and helps students get the resources and guidance we need. Keeping her as Dean of Counseling would help undocumented, justice-impacted, and other underserved students feel supported.
