Had beers with a community college president last week... he shared that there's a problem brewing where Arizona State (and perhaps others...) are going to high schools offering a program where for low tuition rates, kids can pick up some college credits. Sounds great on the surface, but the problems are that a) it means fewer of those students attending programs at the local community colleges, IE: taxpayer dollars going out of state, and b) apparently the credits offered are really only transferable to - you guessed it - Arizona State. It's all part of a disagreement between the school districts and the community colleges over where the kids are spending their time, and thus getting their share of state dollars.
