“President Reyes is paid an astonishing $302,717/year, significantly more than the governor of California and 44% more than presidents at comparable rural community colleges here in northern California. We need to let the community know that Mendocino College has gotten off track. Students, faculty and staff deserve better,” said Kimberly Pinson, a Financial Aid Technician.
