However, nothing more ever seems to get done. I think it even was approved as a levy or bond a few years back. This time, it may go through because a sentator or two want it. With the current bunch of professors it seems to be one bummer of a crop, though. I believe attendance is at an all time low, most classes that are important (i.e. transferable, towards a degree, etc) are only provided via online instruction from another institution yet tuition has gone up and financial aid forebearance is at an alltime low as well.

People want the prestige that having a college provides but I don't see the facts that this area can support a college or that the college is doing much for this area. Few professors that I have met show a care about this area. Most have a distinctly disdainful attitude about our community, as if they are being punished to work here or are making a tremendous sacrifice to do so. I am sick and tired of those powers that be trying to make us feel like we are an extension of something or somewhere "else". We are not the ugly step-child of Portland, we are tired of getting the rejected medical personel, educators, govenrment agents and politicians that are either too incompetent or corrupt to practice anywhere else.

There had better be a better job of convincing "us" that a "new" campus for our "community" college is necessary. Right now all I see is that a bunch of prima donnas want new offices and I don't particularly care to foot that bill.
