Very good point. When they decided to run our Community College as a "business enterprise" they neglected to follow the basic business principle of ROI Return on Investment. They chose to build "Titan Court" rather than more classrooms. Those who tried to explain this to them (cutting classes cuts income, most students cannot afford luxury apartments in the wake of high tuition) were purged.  Their "investments" have not been sustainable or revenue enhancing (repeatedly going grossly over budget with construction).  These choices are the reasons for current high deficits. They also know that raising tuition is not the only reason that enrollment has decreased.   Full-time instructors are being replaced with part-timers., with other jobs and less time to invest in student needs, success and retention.  Again, less help, less  trust, less students, less income.  Initiative Petition 28 should not be expected to help those who have made poor  business decisions.  Business is business.
