Its great to get more people in the area to increase the vitality of the place (more restaurants/bars?). <br /><br />Plus, most community colleges around the state are cash strapped. International students are an easy way to make money to spend on the other local programs. This is nothing specific to Shoreline College.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-21098437576645260882015-08-22T21:29:31.567-07:002015-08-22T21:29:31.567-07:00Why do we make concessions to anyone from China, t...Why do we make concessions to anyone from China, they're polluting everything and have ZERO human rights and no respect for any animals. Look at the dog meat festival and beatings of animals. Why don't we just focus on getting a good education for the current students of the area???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-28802734381264071532015-08-22T10:11:34.882-07:002015-08-22T10:11:34.882-07:00Why does SCC want to be a world-class leader? Hell...Why does SCC want to be a world-class leader? Hello? It is a COMMUNITY college. Being even a world-class follower would be a step up. Even the locals have such a hard time finding the place, the City is planning to tear up 160th to create "College Way." They even condemned Aurora Square as "economically blighted" three years ago in order to get the state authority to spend money on this.<br /><br />"The leadership of Shoreline Community College (SCC) has long lamented the marketing problems with the college’s location; with almost no visibility from major arterials or highways, many in the community don’t even know where SCC is located." (from City Council documents).<br /><br />This story only seems to be about forging educational ties with a communist country. But it is really less sinister. What this is really about is the City's Promoting Shoreline Project, which the City Council will discuss at its very next meeting (Monday, August 24, 7:00PM, City Hall). It's about building what Shoreline's Economic Director has called "Shoreline's cache [sic]." (Hey China, if you want to learn English, maybe Shoreline is not the place).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-71417212391247887652015-08-22T04:11:24.393-07:002015-08-22T04:11:24.393-07:00isn't it illegal for people to leave China and...isn't it illegal for people to leave China and visit the USA? Also if they can leave and get permission to/or pay the fine, they're the tip tier of China Society, meaning they're like the slave masters of the workers of China and making money by brutalizing their own people or just tied into the corrupt government at high levels. So what's the deal if an American wants to study at the CHINA university?? Do they offer some special deal, NOT to Americans. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
