We, the undersigned, petition the CCSF Board of Trustees to acknowledge that Board member Steve Ngo has engaged in divisive, bullying language and tactics toward many members of the City College community, especially faculty. He is failing in his charged task to treat CCSF community members “with courtesy, and respect and civility.” He has chosen to represent a very vocal select few rather than a broader cross-section of the college community. He has not worked to “Ensure an atmosphere in which controversial issues can be presented fairly and in which the dignity of each individual is maintained.” Instead, he has polarized community discussion and created an environment in which Board and faculty no longer work collaboratively but as opponents. We call on the Board of Trustees to direct Trustee Ngo to abide by the Board’s Code of Ethics and Responsibilities (quoted above and linked in sidebar). Trustee Ngo must cease his polarizing rhetoric and bullying tactics.
