Subject: [Homestead] California College Administrators Attempt Funding Coup
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 16:23:26 -0800
The syndicate that represents California community college
administrators is trying to eliminate the law that forces them to spend
50% of the money on actual classes (as a taxpayer, I'm wondering, 'Gee,
shouldn't that be the 70%, or the 80%, law?'). That would free up the
money to spend on themselves. Here's the propaganda page from the
teachers' union exposing this diabolical plot (forgive both the sentence
fragment and the bellicose tone):
"ACCA’s highest priority is elimination of the 50% law. If
administrators have their way it won’t just be weakened. It will be
gone. To this we have CTA sponsored legislation to strengthen the 50%
law. And it’s CTA’s highest priority - Tier 1.
Let the battle begin! "
