Big changes are hitting Amarillo College after board member John Betancourt was suspended following his recent DWI-2 arrest. While Betancourt will still attend meetings and vote, he’s now off all extra assignments and won’t represent the college at state or national events—meaning no travel or spending taxpayer dollars until his case is resolved. The board stressed that he’s innocent until proven guilty, but there’s a lot of talk about how this impacts the college’s reputation and trust in local leadership. What do you think—should a suspension like this be standard practice? #Education #College #AmarilloCollege
