How the state now funds community colleges, how campuses are implementing these changes
and what outcomes they’re already seeing.

The bill shifts the state’s funding structure to be based on how many hours students are in class instead of by how many students graduate or transfer to a four-year university.

I predict that the number of hours to complete a community college course will increase for some reason….. 🧐

Wait, what? Funding based on class hours instead of graduation/pass-up rates will increase that graduation rate? How does that make any sense?

All this will really do is likely increase the number of useless classes that people take for fun, as they only count as hours, not something to help people graduate.

Of course the CC's welcomed the change: they get paid whether a student graduates or moves onto a four year school or not.

Basically, money for nothing. Look for them to recruit anyone who can fog a mirror & lots of illegals who can't even speak English.
