I have faith in Larry Frank as president of Trade Tech. He has demonstrated fidelity as a facilitator of the voices of the unheard and disempowered at the college and the several years under his leadership has changed the college dramatically.

I strongly support the President. Let’s not forget that when Larry Frank came on Board as President, the College was on Probation. Today, we have a full and comprehensive accreditation. The college went from an F to an A-. Larry Frank helped to establish a Day of Dialogue on campus, and helped institute a Participatory consultations and a Participatory Democracy in the decision making process. We can work with this President and solve problems and bring success for our students and continue developing a good work environment. Larry Frank is respectful and always says thank you to everyone for their work here at the college. He is fully dedicated and committed to work with us to bring success for the college. He has been instrumental in bringing the Jobs Center to the campus, as well as many partnerships with Industry and many Agencies and foundations. He has brought many resources and support for the college. He is continually helping and providing support to assist our students in getting internships and jobs. The way we solve problems is by working through the problems and focusing on solutions, not by going public with offensive statements and inappropriate language setting a bad example for the students. We need to wait for the results of the investigations and then with our support, ask the President to address the problem and find solutions. Let’s not forget the importance of providing an opportunity for healing and redemption for those who may have made a mistake.
We strongly support Larry Frank to continue as President of LATTC and continue all the good work that is being accomplished here at LATTC.
Thank you

Being an adjunct faculty I've not had a lot of contact with Mr. Frank, but the contact I've had has given me the impression that he is truly dedicated to improving the college and it's future standing in the academic ranks. He has my support.

It's 2001 all over again. The 'silent plurality' is at it again. Larry Frank has done nothing but try to help the student at Trade-Tech. He may have made some mistakes but supporting the students that need the most assistance is not one of them. I can't say that I always agreed with him but I never doubted his intent to improve things for our students.
I believe Ms. Watanabe at the Times has a vendetta against the college. She chooses to pay attention to a misguided 'auditor' at the District and some disgruntled individuals at the institution. Mistakes? Sure. With change comes mistakes. Change needs to happen if the intent is to improve the lives of the students that enroll at this college. Larry Frank is dedicated to make a difference for the students. You should not oppose him, you should get behind him and push the college forward.

Larry Frank is an asset to the Trade Tech Community College. He has done wonders for the college and removing him would be a colossal mistake.

As an occasional instructor at Trade Tech (in addition to my regular teaching UCLA grad students at the Luskin School of Public Affairs) I am proud to support Larry Frank--Larry is an exceptional leader who has turned around LA Trade Tech into a dynamic community college, anchored in the community and in labor-- advancing the opportunities particularly of Los Angeles's majority minority population.

I haven't heard anything negative about Larry since he took up the position till now. I can not judge him on one incident, so he has my vote of confidence.

Based on what I have read so far; I think a lot of the people who are assuming guilt on an ongoing investigation are very WRONG. You are pronouncing judgement on what I may consider to be not proving. President Larry Frank is being the adult in the room by not rushing to judgement which is the most admirable thing to expect from a proving leader.
I think, it's wrong of the people asking for resignation. What would you do if the final report comes out to be negative.
For these reasons, I am very much in support of the President and the way the President is handling what can be labeled a "dark moment" in LATTC.
Let's focus on how to move LATTC program forward
