The PA Daily Post started their coverage with 'he was controversial in how much he spent on foreign travel'. The FHDA Board my proactively quash that type of controversy here - Please Just include a Dollar-Limited travel budget in his contract! (not yet signed by Board)

It was nice how the Board held an Open Process hire for the finalists. This allowed the free press - to do some dig down on the finalist candidates. Very Good Open Governance Job!

This education administrator seems a good pick and very well qualified for this 2 campus (high rated) community college system.

I regret to point out to Mr. Nelson that such a stipulation in Lee Lambert's contract will not work very well. Chancellor Lambert just loves to spend taxpayer money. Under his leadership, Pima Community College in 2017 spent about $2.5 million buying three derelict motels with the aim of converting them to office space. That PCC's enrollment has dropped in half over the last twenty years and already has a surplus of office space. That didn't seem to affect the decision. The plan was to spend an additional $10 million to renovate the to fit PCC's imaginary needs. The renovation bill is now up to $35 million, so PCC is holding public meetings about what to do about this mess. It seems the current idea is to tear down these historic motels to turn them into parking lots--at a time when PCC's 6 campuses are virtual ghost towns and the parking lots are empty. You may find these details by googling "Arizona Luminaria" which is an online newspaper.
