<DIV style="font-color: black"><B><FONT face=Tahoma>I am currently enrolled at

it seems to me that the only way to reverse the effects from capitalistic
ventures that have infiltrated institutions is to build and motivate an informed

<DIV dir=ltr>Dear O/Mers.<BR>Yesterday at our meeting Rex brought up an issue
about COR losing accredation and failing here and in Eureka both. I was
disturbed, so went online to fine out what's up, but there are schedules of
classes, links to programs, and not a mention of any problems. However, I
clicked on the link about collefe costs and was appaled to find that for a
California resident living off-campus the fee is $14,971 per semester, and for
non-residents the fee is $20,563!! How can anyone afford an education at that
rate? Especially if Pell grants are gone, which is a threat. What can we do??
Our kids deserve education but most have to leave town to get school they can
afford, and most parents cannot help the kids, they are
broke.<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>
