1/12: For years, @FIT has been charging sub- & exurban counties to foot the bill for local students who attend this NYC college. Why? Despite 4yr & grad degrees + steep price tag, FIT is classified as a #communitycollege. 35 colleagues & I are urging @GovKathyHochul to fix this:
2. Dear Governor Hochul,
NYC's suburban and exurban taxpayers have long endured unfair and unjustifiable costs associated with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Despite offering very specialized and highly expensive four-year and graduate-level degrees...

3. FIT has a sweetheart deal whereby they are considered a community college – the only so-called community college in the state that offers degrees beyond the associate level...
Working on importing works/thinking of my mentors and I on the problems/solutions in American Community Colleges. Still amazed at the density of info that can be compiled in @RoamResearch - one click away from thinking, sources, citations, metadata in a complex topic.#roamcult 
To be clear. Most of these are aliases that point to the works in question. Using tables with embedded blocks - editable in place.

My first presidential address to the @MineralAreaCC faculty and staff went very well! Such great people to work with, I can't wait to meet them all. I was able to present my vision for the future of MAC today and some of my key points are in this thread, enjoy! #POMAC
@MineralAreaCC Salary Equity
Making a basic cost-of-living increase each year a priority goes a long way in valuing people. Money doesn't equal happiness in employment, but feeling valued does. Knowing your place of employment cares enough to make this a priority is priceless. #POMAC

@MineralAreaCC Accessibility and Tuition
Currently, @MineralAreaCC has one of the lowest tuition rates in the state. This is important for accessibility of our low income region and helping students leave without debt.

I've been teaching at a #CommunityCollege for fifteen years. I'm tenured, I teach English, literature, and creative writing. Here's what I wish most people could understand about community colleges...
1. 50% of the students in the USA who are in college at actually at a comm college, and many of them still need financial aid. We make a college dream a reality for 50% of all college students.
2. We take everyone. Some of my students could be honors students at any prestigious 4-year-school but cannot afford it, so they start here. We also have students who read on a 6th grade level and barely made it through high school. We take everyone, and WE DON'T JUDGE THEM.
