23 paid holidays and work less than 40 hours a week and are paid more... well it takes more to live in SF for one.

Actually, it sounds like a lot of European Universities I know of only less paid holidays. They seem to be doing fine. What gives here?

...that they are known for offering cheap general classes. Something like $25 a credit hour. To put that in perspective I think $25 a credit hour would be a low price for a community college in the middle of Kansas.

Almost 5 weeks of vacation at less than 40 hours a week and they are paid better than there peers.... I didn't read the article but am I supposed to feel bad for them?

Do they own the land where their building is located downtown. I don't know what that plot or any plot goes for but I would take a wild guess that the min they should take for that plot is 35-40 million.

They filter out into the community at large and can't restrain themselves from going on traffic-infraction-hunting expeditions against motorists unfortunate enough to be driving anywhere near CCSF.

They'd be sad clown rejects if they weren't so annoying.

I nearly went there, for some special classes. I guess I will have to look elsewhere, now.

or waiting for them to announce that they will close --which they haven't said they will do...

before giving up on them?

this is a college of almost 100k students. it may get downsized or cut, but the idea that it'll go away, and you've already put up the tombstone, is way hasty.

besides you're in SF. where are you going to go? if City closes, all the neighboring campuses are going to get slammed.

When I left UC Berkeley. I went to a private institution for studying the language that I needed. It was more expensive but the classes were far less crowded. I probably could afford it now, but I need to see what options I have open to me.
