Who hired this guy? Obviously no one did their homework. He has a very poor and disturbing track record. Surely, the committee was remise in checking his references and work history. One expects to read some negative comments, but most of the posting are very negative and disturbing to read. Where there’s smoke there is fire. Good Luck PPC.

Good luck PCC. Having work under Dr. Brown, our experiences were quite negative. He doesn’t understand consequence of his actions and doesn’t work with the people of the institution to help move forward and improve the college. Dr. Brown comes in like a bulldozer and creates destruction. He is known to create havoc and distension among loyal and dedicated employees. I would hope all faculty and staff as well as students are very aware and watch, participate and speak up for your school. I would like to say he did good things here but unfortunately he left us in a state of shambles. I wish him good luck but I have to say speaking for myself and colleagues we were glad to see him go!!!

well, If all the negative remarks are true it will take extra diligence from PCC students to make sure we stay on track with our mission.

Good luck with him, PCCC. He’s gonna have one foot out the door as soon as he gets there. He’ll be interviewing for other positions within the semester, just like he did at EUP and SUNY.
The guy is nice enough, but his policies suck and he’ll put your school into debt. After cutting programs and firing people. He screwed us at EUP (I was there through 3 presidents, undergrad to grad school).

Nice try with your double-agents, Dr. Brown. You get them to launch a smear campaign, then they return and combat themselves under assumed names…

You cannot fool us. We know what you did at Edinboro; we know what you did at Dowling; we know what you’re doing at SUNY, and we know what you will do at PCC… and we will have none of it!

I formally challenge you to a showdown in a ring of your choice. A challenge of muscles and minds, of chokeslams and leg drops, and I guarantee by the end you will experience a beat-down not seen since since I won the Pacific Northwest Wrestling title from Jimmy Snuka back in ’76.

I’ll be waiting.

As a student who received his diploma from Dr. Brown I have to say he is a great man and is someone who will look forward and build your school. At Edinboro he oversaw a 200 million dollar remodel that gave us many new badly needed buildings and under him enrollment rose. Good luck Dr. Brown and remember Great things did happen at Edinboro.

Dr. Brown is a charismatic leader with a past. Although he may have departed other institutions under negative circumstances, I assume that any decisions ultimately attributed to him were made with the support of other administrators and approved by the board of directors. Who’s to say that the institutions he left are not in better fiscal and academic standing as a result of those very difficult decisions?

I hope that we can give Dr. Brown a fair honeymoon period so that he can focus on the needs of PCC in the current budgetary climate. Given the animosity of the comments here and at the session I attended, perhaps he hedged his bets and accepted the SUNY job prematurely. But let’s remember that he chose PCC. I believe he will be the strong leader and advocate that we need. Please embrace and support his presidency and withhold judgment until he demonstrates the direction in which he wants to take us. Only then will we know the real Dr. Brown.

When I went online to find out about Dr Brown, I found lots of negative info about him. Has the PCC board done its due diligence to find out about his true track record and whether he’ll be a good fit at PCC? I thought he was by far the weakest of the three candidates for PCC President, and I can’t believe that dozens of others in the PCC community didn’t have the same reaction – and they told the Board about it in their reaction sheets. Did the Board even pay attention to people’s comments? I’m really, really worried that PCC is in for a rough ride ahead!
