I had been a 15 year donor, 5 year volunteer at RMC. I taught school for 18 years, been an entrepenuer, etc. For the past 3 years I studied RMC through public records, RMC publications, interviews, etc. I am outraged that the Board will not follow their own by-laws having been in non-compliance with their term limits, conflicts of interest, and never did a required search for a new president in 2005. They changed their by-laws in 2010 and now there are no term limits! They have engaged in risky investments and lost on credit rate swaps. The IRS 990s show many payoffs to former employees since Pres Mace took over in Oct 2005. He was the one who said he invented the "key card" (not true), calls himself the "Miracle Man" in RMC publications, ended up in jail in Indiana for punching the developer of his townhouse in 2007, recently was in a lawsuit because of abusive behavior to develpment director. Board members have been aware of his anger since Dec 2005 and have even acknowledged his anger problem in the Billings Gazette. Pres mace personally refused to five me even the names of the Board members in 2010! The current names were not available anywhere...secret??? I am sad for the college because the leadership lacks institutional integrity. I am not the only FORMER disgruntled donor....we were in the process of a MAJOR gift!
