Still Bad Despite Damage Control Efforts - Anonymous employee Howard Community College Employee Review

The culture at HCC continues to be toxic due to the 'leadership' of president Willis. There is full-scale damage control going on in an effort to salvage the college's badly damaged reputation. Faculty and staff aren't stupid, though, and see right through it. It is such a shame that HCC's Board of Trustees has allowed the institution to deteriorate for so long due to terrible and immature leadership. Employees continue to leave because they are treated so poorly, and the other higher ed institutions in the area are hiring former HCC employees and benefitting from their knowledge and experience. HCC has lost the respect of the community and other institutions because people have heard the horror stories about what it's like to work at HCC under Dr. Willis and other incompetent leaders.
