Glenn Christenson, chairman of NSC's foundation said several misguided individuals have suggested [closing NSC]
This political hack beancounter Christenson is BIG government all-the-way. I'm so tired of mealy-mouths like him smearing us as "misguided", "extremist", whatever.
Does Christenson have *anything* negative to say about NSHE's funding of Division 1 sports? For instance, UNLV's $1M hoops coach, its $300K Athletic Director, the ridiculous departments maintained to provide jocks -- who get free rides -- with academic cover? Closer to home, does he consider NSC President Maryanski's $250,000 salary to be "misguided"?
Nope.
Here's a mealy-mouthed recommendation for the Regents. Both Christenson and Maryanski should be DOWNSIZED.

Political Hack Regents
Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum
Regent Chair Leavitt believes the state college has clearly gone beyond its original mission.
Not true. It's original mission was to redistribute money to Perkins' district. After all, why should Raggio's district (UNR) get all the money?
That mission is INTACT.
The Regents are just a bunch of political hacks. They play a very sordid game with their crooked cousins in Carson City. The Regents ascertain how best to buy political support from the various higher education constituencies (ie football fanatics, nurse and teacher wannabes, construction contractors, etc). The legislators appropriate the money.
NSHE funding is all very repulsive. Like sausage making and redistricting. It wasn't meant to be that way.
The original University of Nevada (now UNR) was chartered to provide practical instruction in three fields relevant to this state (Mining, Agriculture and Engineering). It was endowed with capital (in Trust) to fund it in-perpetuity. No further taxpayer obligation necessary. Over the years, in order to secure their re-elections, the crooked politicians have expanded that very limited state university mission into what is now known as NSHE, with the waste and corruption therein.

NSC Is CCSD's 13th Chance
Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum
community college's traditional mission .. allowing anyone who wants an education to sign up for one.
NSC's traditional mission is to buy votes for crooked politicians.
The reason NSC is overflowing is because it's *undercharging*. NSC tuition should be more like $500 per credit. Though NSC services are worth little, its cost structure is totally bloated. Those who take classes there should bear the burden. Besides, NSC provides *remedial* education. Nevada taxpayers already pay for K-12. How many times must we pony up to teach the 3R's?
