B. Prioritization in case Prop 30 fails (2:55-3:10)

Over the last few semesters, the MPC Academic Senate has refrained from making recommendations on the prioritization of programs at MPC. Out of respect for the unity and camaraderie of faculty members, the Academic Senate has thought that such discussion could have the potential to pit one faculty member against another in a potentially nonproductive argument over which program is more valuable or critical than another to the mission of the college.

Is this still what we want?
