HCC trustees deny campaign finance conflict in failed vote to renew chancellor's contract
Cesar Maldonado, chancellor of Houston Community College, speaks during a media conference about the plan to build nation’s largest flood simulation training center shown Hilton Americas-Houston Hotel Tuesday, April 26, 2022, in Houston.
The recording signaled a more drawn-out fight over Maldonado’s contract than was previously known: Conversations about the pending deal had largely taken place behind closed doors in executive session. But several administrative problems in Maldonado’s nine years as chancellor were part of the fight.
“I smell a rat,” said Candice Matthews, minister of politics for the New Black Panther Nation. “I’m very concerned with the ones that said yes – those are the ones whose campaign reports I’m looking at.” In a letter issued to the HCC community, however, Maldonado cited several gains in student achievement and building a financial reserve of $256 million as some of his biggest accomplishments.
One of those lawsuits is seeking $100 million from the system. Filed in 2020 on behalf of hundreds of current and former Black employees, the suit alleges that 90 percent of the longtime black professionals at the community college have either been terminated or demoted since Maldonado arrived, compared with 10 percent of white employees who have been displaced. Hispanic hires and promotions, however, have increased by 50 percent, according to court documents.
In a statement, Lenton-Gary confirmed that she received a call from Day but did not return it. Flowers and Wilson both said they found the voicemail recording problematic. Several of the trustees with donations from the PAC said they took issue with any claims that their votes were cast under financial influences. Richart said she received many perspectives and opinions on the matter of Maldonado’s contract, but the decision was hers alone.
