TMCC want's to offer 4 year degrees (???)

Re: Nevada State College plans expansion near Reno (joint venture with Truckee Meadows Community College).

This is (one of) the stupidest ideas yet from the administration @TMCC
Ever since GBC was allowed to offer 4 year degrees (due to Elko's distance from a University) TMCC has had a bug in it's bonnet to be "The Harvard on the Truckee" (and they only need $35 million for starters).


NO NO NO!!! TMCC is a COMMUNITY College. We have a University here (right down the street).
Nevada ranks 49th in the nation for workforce education (& I think I know why).

Let the Board of Regents know what you think about this idea (use the link on the right side of the screen).
It amazes me all the politics that goes on instead of education (why can’t TMCC seem to get along with the other local units of the university & community college system)?
Why do we have to import our administration from the east coast?
I think it’s time for new management at TMCC.
Lets try some home-grown talent this time!
