Community Colleges want to be exempted from the economic laws.
"Brown wants to raise fees from $26 to $36 per credit, a 40 percent increase. California’s tuition would still be the lowest in the nation, and families earning under $65,000 would qualify to have the increase waived. But Brown is proposing to use the $110 million in additional revenue not to improve programs and services but to fund the growth in student enrollment. So it would be disingenuous to tell students facing longer wait lists and more crowded classes that higher fees would in any way benefit them, they said during a conference call last week of the Community College League of California, which lobbies for the colleges.
The $400 million cut would be a move toward ending the practice of reimbursing colleges for the number of students enrolled on Census Day – the Monday after the first three weeks in a quarter. Since 16 percent of students on average drop out of courses after that date, the Brown administration is implying that the already underfunded colleges are getting money they don’t deserve."
Why are the community colleges, home of lots of illegal aliens, knowingly taking money for students that do not exist? Why are they taking money for illegal aliens that should not be on their campuses?
Government is incompetent and corrupt. In the case of community colleges, while well meaning, they are both. Brown is right, cut the money; it is ill gotten in the first place.
