Lol Ninety-two percent of budget goes to pay union wages and benefits.

One Man's Mission to Save City College of San Francisco - WSJ.com

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO—The fate of City College of San Francisco, one of the nation's largest community colleges, rests largely on the surgically repaired shoulder of a state-appointed trustee named Robert Agrella.
The 70-year-old former community-college president is in a race against time to slim down the bureaucratic behemoth with 80,000 students and 1,900 faculty before it implodes.


"In community colleges in general, we tried to be all things to all people," he said. "We cannot afford to do that any longer."

Because the people who live in the community college district are likely all liberals and thus saw nothing wrong, hence they kept voting in the same board of trustees who perpetuated such a disastrous shipwreck.

Everything that liberals touch turns to mud.

Liberals have a major problem telling people "no," which leads to unsustainable excesses in everything they touch. This school got what it deserved by running the business as normal amid funding declines.

Maybe Pelosi should bail them out with her personal funds.
She has more money then she would ever need.

Actually currently it is at 89% and the trustee they appointed is working to get that down to 80% where it should be. My guess is the school went through a series of poor management and is now correcting that.

Put all the things they want in one hand and place all your money in the other.
Which hand always fills up faster. Credit becomes a way of life for a Progressive. The minimum payment eventually becomes more than the money intake.

That is when the crap hits the fan.

Only progressives use credit cards?
