>>This college has just initiated a policy where they require their students to work for 75 hours for a third-party for free. <<
yep. If they don’t like it, they can leave, as with any school policy. No one is forcing anyone to do anything.
Sometime life sucks. If you are an Exempt (Salaried) Management employee and your boss tells you you will be working weekends for the next 10 weeks, you have 2 choices: work the weekends or quit.
Same thing here.
The poster said the college just "initiated" the requirement, which implies that said requirement was not in effect for students who had previously enrolled. If the existing students have a graduation agreement that lists the courses required for a particular degree program, then that constitutes a contract of sorts, and students pay for classes in return for credit for those classes. Unlike most contracts though, the terms are rather loose, as college costs seem to be caught in a strong updraft.
In my opinion, every student subjected to the "new" requirements could legitimately sue the school for breach of contract, and in a just world win their cases. I would encourage them to sue for breach of contract, for every penny they had ever paid to the school, plus damages , and whatever they could squeeze out of a jury for the school's violation of basic civil rights.
Communists have no qualms about suing productive citizens and companies day in and day out. It's the only way communists could exist -- leeching off the productive.
It's high time the citizens start using the same tactics against the non-productive communists. The school provides a list of organizations, probably all fellow communist outfits, from which the students can choose.
This stuff is not new. Public elementary schools have been sending their kids around to raise money for their communist causes for ages. No decent person, and certainly no conservative, supports this kind of crap. It is conditioning students to become mindless servants of a communist collective.
It really isn't a matter of contract law. You know this, and are misdirecting for some reason. Mandatory volunteerism is an oxymoron.
