The union representing education support professionals at the Community College of Rhode Island has voted no confidence in President Meghan Hughes and Vice President Alix Ogden, citing recent layoffs.
“While 16% of our members jobs have been eliminated, high-level administrator positions have ballooned on your watch,” wrote Michael McNally, President of the CCRI Educational Support Professionals Associaton (EPSA) in a letter to Hughes and Ogden.

NEARI Executive Director Bob Walsh acknowledged that some of the workers eliminated have been shifted to the Department of Health but he questioned the moves.
