Colin Glaves' (Area 3) platform centers a commitment to serving students, through better management of taxpayer money, to:
fund expansion of course offerings -- did you know there are over 4000 students on wait lists for classes in WVMCCD this fall 2026 term?!
reduce class size, and
hire faculty instead of more administrators: Did you know our district currently has one administrator for each full-time faculty member?
Doug Robb (Area 7), with over 30 years of community college teaching experience, also supports proper spending of tax money through:
elevating faculty and staff voices in institutional decisions
focusing spending on educational programs rather than administrator salaries, and
shifting hiring priorities from administrators to front-line, student-facing staff

Taking classes in the District? As a result of a recent WVMFT grievance on behalf of four of our members, and all potentially affected faculty, the District must treat faculty just like all other students and allow faculty free tuition for attending classes at WVMCCD if you live in the district. Previously, faculty who lived in the District's service area and who enrolled in classes were not offered free tuition simply because they were employees of the district. Due to a WVMFT-District settlement, that prior discriminatory practice has ended: "The District agrees to allow faculty to enroll in all District courses on the same terms and only subject to those limitations which may apply to all students or prospective students."
WVMFT CARES about Faculty. WVMFT Cares is our union's own way of helping our members who are experiencing financial hardship due to an assignment cancellation, unexpected work reduction or other calamity. Please reach out to Eva Maddox (wvptrep.aft6554@gmail.com) or Karen Chan (executive_director@wvmft.org) for information about how to apply for financial support.
