Re “Dandy Dan Is a Doozy — with an Asterisk”
Round Two with Dandy Dan the Chancellor Man:
[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]The clodhoppers on the Los Angeles Community College Board of Lack of Trust(ees) surely stooped last year when they hired the Dandy Dan the Chancellor Man to stand guard over this very needy District.
Benedict Arnold probably is getting nervous in his gravebed.
Where is Frank Quiambo when we need him?
If Dandy Dan J. LaVista, whose resumé reads like a Chinese checkers board on Barry Bonds steroids, is serious, I will buy you dinner for a month.
He needs a minder or a babysitter.
How did he hornswoggle the Board of Lack of Trust(ees) into getting this gig, given his colorful background.
We are told West Los Angeles College — a public relations disaster for 42 years and counting — is looking for a President to replace Mark Rocha, who bunny-hopped to Pasadena last spring after offending 50 to 75 percent of Culver City.
Dandy Dan, the Anti-P.R. Chump
For the last 8 months, West has had a perfectly fine administrator in the President’s chair, Dr. Rose Marie Joyce. Offhand, I would say she would be worth 20 Dandy Dans.
If you had seen the way he comported himself last week at an almost laughable “community meeting” to enable West’s President search, I am confident you would agree.
I don’t know how badly Dr. Joyce wants to make a U-turn into retirement. But as far as Culver City is concerned Dr. Joyce can hold the seat at least until after Dandy Dan safely is out of town. If the Board of the Lack of Trust(ees) were vaguely committed to elevating the District, they would do with her what the Culver City School Board did for Patti Jaffe. But the Lack of Trust (ees) operate is if their individual IQs were just south of Dr. Joyce’s shoe size.
The academic lump known as Dandy (Howdy, I Think I Am the Chief of This Here District) Dan, whom I met the other day, seems to be in charge of the search.
Anyone for Suds?
After the college advertised a 4 o’clock community meeting the other day to debate the Presidential search and attracted an audience of one person, Dandy Dan smirked when it was suggested that West desperately is in need of public relations. Does this dim bulb dress himself?
You promoted. One person showed up. Maybe, D.D., there is a problem.
Dandy smirked all through the 38 minutes he was in the room, and probably during the 4 minutes he allotted himself for a presumed bathroom break.
He must have studied a errant map while he was absent. When he returned, he announced that West Los Angeles College is in Culver City, which will come as a surprise to officials at City Hall and at the County. Way to go, Dandy.
Graceless and arrogant, the well-traveled Dandy Dan the Chancellor Man has more miles on him than the Santa Monica Freeway.
How did this booby prize land the top community college job in town?
My guess is the Board of Lack of Trust(ees) must have been playing darts one night at a waterfront beer bar for soiled tee-shirt types. The last lucky dart bullseyed Dandy Dan’s mug.
“Boys, meet our new Chancellor, by acclaim,” hollered the always scrupulous Mona Field to her fellow jolly boys
