Accountability

I am a college professor with 12 years of teaching experience in two CSU campus in the SF Bay Area. During the 1990's I seldom heard about the Master Plan that had been in place since the 1960s along with the two other versions in 1973 and then in 1989. Although I was working with undergraduate college students, many from low income bacgrounds and in great need of a good education, I saw many course offerings cut or reduced because of a lack of planning and coordination on the part of academic administrators. I sat in many academic committees and governing conferences where there was much talk and allocation of resources to the "Corners stone" project in the CSU system but seldom I heard of coordinating or enforcing the existing Master Plan. Indeed I am still hopefull for a genuine effort to make every level of responsibility for quality education in the state accountable. Yet, I am skeptical that there will be enough courage to make happen. Every level includes academic administrators: Department Chairs, Deans, College Presidents, faculty members, instructors, and legislators. I want to see less litigation because of cronyism, descrimination, and civil rights violations, and more accounts on how these problems were prevented from happening at all. Litigation because of civil rights violations or discrimination should happend al all among those that teach out future generations. Children and youth are always learning from our example in classrooms or anywhere on campus. They will learn what they see in our behavior, and hear from us whether we intend to teach it or not. I often read in the Chronicle of Higher Education about large sums of money allocated to settle lawsuits that originate from poor leadership and administrative incompetence. I sincerely hope that all of these resources, technology, and efforts allocated to this online participation would secure, if nothing else, accountability. 
1) Accountability from facility managers, about having the basics of a place where teaching and learning can happen.I have spent many hours working on a lecture simply to go to my classroom to teach it and find the classroom is locked, and if opened, there is no chalk, or the chairs are falling apart, or the lights and ventilation are not working. If I want to check a overhead projector or a lap top computer I have to fill in so many forms and go through so many hurddles that by the time I finally get to my place of teaching I am exhausted. 
2) Accountability from academic directors and administrators to have a more humane place of work. A place of learning where political interests and big egos can be relinquished, and we strive for sound teaching and learning (Just hoping). 
3) Accountability from Deans and College Presidents to strive for a less litigious place and more responsible leadership on issues that really matter and where we truly need to model better behavior for the benefit of our future generations.
Please, make this version of the Master Plan a tool with enforceable mechanisms to measure our success ten years from now when we see again a need to revisit the master plan.
