Mori Hosseini easy target of board looking at Daytona State College

DAYTONA BEACH -- In a stunning reversal of its verbal report, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has decided only one man is responsible for the problems at Daytona State College with no justification, of course: Mori Hosseini. He is a local philanthropist, owner of ICI homes and one of 17 members of the Board of Governors of the Florida State University System. His wife, Forough Hosseini, is on the DSC board. Apparently, when he speaks his mind that is considered undue influence on board members.

SACS’ preliminary report, which indicated that just a couple of adjustments needed to be made by the college to address problems presented by a former employee suffering from sour grape syndrome, disgruntled staffers, and others. This verbal report was presented before the commission even talked to the accusers.

America’s system of justice is pretty much the reverse of this process. The accused always have an opportunity to face their accusers. A judge or jury weighs the evidence and a verdict is given.

This was not the case in Daytona Beach this week where the nameless, faceless accusers met in at the Hilton Hotel to discuss their views with the SACS commission while enjoying approximately $600 in food and beverages.

It is unclear who paid the lodging bill, which approached $8,000. The report the SACS commission issued this week was neither objective nor fair and damaged the reputations of members of the college board.

In fact, it appears that the accusers have used SACS as a tool of revenge with little purpose beyond smearing the names of board members. While everyone is aware that the College Board is under fire, neither the board members nor anyone in the public knows the names of the anonymous accusers.

In addition to being sandbagged, the integrity of the current board has been called into question with unfounded accusations some of which have already been rebutted in the News-Journal.

For example, DSC board member Mary Ann Haas denies she is a rubber stamp for the Hosseinis and has frequently voted on the other side of issues. Haas feels the accusers are not only hurting her, but hurting the college as well. Interim DSC President Frank Lombardo backs her up. But the SACS commission wasn’t interested in her side of the story.

The SACS commission made no reference to a much more serious problem; why did former President Kent Sharples and former trustee Joe Petrock think they could spend $1.5 million of the college’s money to bail out their friends on the Community Cultural Foundation?
