Excerpts from article:
...College President Adrien Bennings said on Monday that Jorge Zeballos' position is being eliminated and that her office will assume equity and inclusion responsibilities, the station said.
...Eric Greene, KCC's chief communications, told the Battle Creek Enquirer that the move had nothing to do with Zeballos' controversial actions: "I don't think it would be fair to say that had anything to do with this. It had to do with the college being fiscal stewards of its resources, within any position at the college, there needs to be a clear demonstrated need."
...The college released a statement emphasizing Zeballos expressed personal opinions on his own time and not as a representative of the school, WWMT said, adding that he was still working at KCC. "However, this matter is a teachable moment and healthy reminder for all KCC employees that our actions as individuals can have an impact on the institution," the statement said, the station reported.
...Zeballos recently addressed the KCC board of trustees and apologized for his actions, Campus Reform reported.
...Community member Joni Jones called Zeballos' actions "Below the dignity of the office" of chief equity and inclusion officer and asked, "Is this the type of language that we taxpayers or you board members expect from a public higher education administrator? Is there not a code of conduct fo KCC employees?" Campus Reform added.
