COSC New Policy - Transfer Credit Updated Info

[openair]

Look at it this way: if no one is looking at the negative, there won't be much to appreciate down the road. They need some pushback, so that they can find ways to raise money without throwing out perfectly good credit.

Raise money? Clearly you don't work at a college. My neighbor does and he's a VP. He spends every day raising money. It's an endless job and these days there isn't money pouring in. 

Colleges need to make a profit to stay viable. Without students, there's no profit. This means students who are paying tuition and fees. The Big 3 don't make anything on the 114 cr students. We're not even really students in their eyes. You can pushback all you want, but you won't get anywhere because the 114 cr students aren't making them any money.

How does the fact that they need to raise money every day justify solid college credit rejections? Why resort to this exclusionary method?  I don't need to work at a college to know that there is something odd about this line of reasoning. I would really hope that they could find money-raising alternatives beyond trashing legit college credits in the hope that students would be locked into lengthier study. How does taking a non-critical stance help with the whole financial dilemma? COSC needs the money, so it's going to punish alt-credit providers and the users who have worked hard to accumulate high numbers of perfectly legitimate ACE-approved credit. In other news, the college wants to re-label an usually large number of upper-level exams as lower-level.  I suppose that's another fantastic money-raising method that we should all approve without question. Congratulations on the creativity!
