I have two children on the spectrum and I am terrified that she would be harmed because she is aggressive. Kids who are aggressive on the spectrum tend to be more abused than those who are not .
I am raising a 3 year old grandson who is autistic,he attends 2 schools dayly, he is preverbal, I would love to see cameras to monitor his well being,also in the bathrooms for toddlers!
I am not one to sign things like this but the board’s decision to make Brent interim president is one of the worst decisions for our community that they have made in a long time. Prior to Brent’s dv arrest he was in charge of the college’s Title IX work. It is no surprise why they had to remove him from this and rename his position after his arrest. Clearly the board thought the community had a short memory when they named him interim president. I am proud of SMC being our local college but this decision puts it in a really bad light. The college deserves better leadership.
Dear Members of the Board,
I am a survivor of domestic violence. Abusers can hide in plain sight and gather sympathy from people who don't understand their Jekyll/Hyde behavior. Of interest is his certification as a R.A.D systems instructor in self-defense and a title Xl Investigator. Overlooking the arrest and statements about other acts of aggression, by Mr. Brewer's wife and children, is troubling. Leaders should be held in esteem not askance.
I would expect that a college President would have already earned a Ph.D or Ed.D but Mr. Brewer holds an MBA in Business Administration instead. All his educational experience has been gained at SMC.
There is an expectation that no one with a besmirched public record or lack of credentials should be put in charge of any organization. I hope the Board reaches out for a more substantial candidate.
Respectfully,
Lois Koel

I strongly oppose the consideration of Brent Brewer as president of Southwest Michigan College. The students of SMC need leadership rooted in integrity and respect. This is an opportunity to change the culture, to choose a leader who will prioritize a safe, inclusive environment for ALL students and staff. We need someone who is not only qualified but embodies the values that align with the dignity and well-being of the entire campus community. Choosing the wrong leader sends the message that these core issues are not truly being addressed.
After going through cancer recently, I really do not want an increased chance of other forms of cancer as a result of intentional spray of chemicals that affect humans, crops and our many lakes in Michigan. Let’s get back to basics and common sense please.
I can’t believe this is not known by most people. It definitely changes the weather. Makes a sunny day hazy and cloudy. Makes people feel sick. One might wonder if they can make it rain then why don’t they do this during wildfires? It is unnatural to cloud the skies with chemicals. Please make it stop!!!
I’ve have grown up in Michigan all my life, I was raised by the Great Lake Michigan, I want future generations to be able to enjoy the natural beauty just as I do.
Water is a resource important to all humanity. Michigan has the largest fresh water lakes in the United States of America. We can not risk polluting our fresh water supply or any water supply for that matter. It's outrageous that anyone would risk polluting the water for greed. The plants, animals and humanity deserves better than this! We want our children and all future generations to grow up in a healthy and beautiful environment.
