It is no secret that to save money on any given purchase, if one can eliminate the middle-person and buy directly, one saves money. Well, why not extend this truism to savings in community college budgeting?
Virtually every day provides more negative news about the economy in general and the fate of the California community colleges in particular. In my pound wise/penny foolish piece, I already mentioned how the “adult hourly,” student assistant tutors who make about $9 have been targeted for axing by the $150, 000 a year managers/administrators. Somehow I don’t think the latter have lost a minute of their sleep over this and even feel as if they have done a commendable job.
