Collin College Reviews

The President, a classic workplace bully, demeans faculty by talking behind their back to other faculty and administrators. He has created a climate of fear and distrust and his passion for confrontation has been adopted by upper administration. Decisions are made that affect the faculty without faculty input and certain "bad cops" are used to intimidate those who speak out against the administration. He makes arbitrary decisions that favor his "pets" and he punishes those who don't play politics (he'll allow a favorite to attend an international conference but won't allow someone else to attend because of the "no international travel" policy - even if both faculty members have been accepted to present original research). The President has created a hostile work environment that is toxic.

Finally had enough and resigned last year. Current President Dr. Matkin is an egotistical and arrogant person. Could care less about faculty and staff. He makes fun of people in front of an entire room and thinks it is funny. He spends more time at car dealerships than his office. He has made such a top-heavy organization with too many VP titles without hiring essential workers actually teaching students. This college is headed towards baccalaureate programs and head to 20 years backward steps with more vocational programs then academic programs. He destroyed the reputation of San Jacinto community college and is doing the same thing at Collin. Did not take Covid seriously, as a result many people have died. Any faculty expressing free speech and academic freedom. Matkin tries to say faculty not fires their contracts were just not renewed, but is unable to say why because each faculty had an impeccable evaluation every year previously. On a sidenote, you can hardly understand what he is saying when he is speaking, and whenever he is speaking is lying.
