Eyeing Tesla, TMCC offers new 4-year degree in logistics

Dumbest idea of the century. ......
TMCC finally got its wish..... Now they are the "Little Harvard on the Truckee".... can offer 4 year degrees...... (with a 4 year University a mile away).
Way to go Board of Regents...... now....can we have a totally separate Technical College system to do the job the Community college was designed to do in the first place???????

.......and the TV spot REALLY makes me barf.... A shot of the new Tesla plant and the talking head saying how TMCC needs to move in new directions to meet industry needs ("Eyeing Tesla, TMCC offers 4 year degree in Logistics")..... LOGISTICS??? (DEF) Logistics: the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations.

Hello TMCC.... how many "logistics" people (warehouse, transportation) do you think Tesla is going to need? I'll bet they need one HELL of a lot more people skilled in INDUSTRIAL technology... (note the emphasis on Industrial.... ).
Since Tmcc wants to head this direction.... can we PLEASE have a technical college system (like 99% of the states that do actually have a manufacturing base) OR... at the very least, allow GBC to offer industrial classes here in Reno (they can't now due to "sphere of influence" ).... because TMCC is not, and has not been interested in "The dirty fingernail bunch for years now.
