"funded through private-sector participation."? Is that Adelman?

Article contains many inaccuracies and ignores some issues. 1. Sure CSN has lots of students -- but many are taking few units, contrast with UNR and UNLV where most are full time degree seeking students. 2. Also, are schools growing or shrinking? Newest NSC, not even mentioned, is growing the fastest, filling gap in state educational needs as planned and expected, so looking only at prior years numbers discriminates against it. 3. Arguments about allocation are bogus at this time. We need to first address What are our needs for post secondary education? And then How much of those needs are we willing and able to fund. THEN How to allocate the funding among the alternative avenues.

You know what's out there. Want to be in the classroom learning biology or genetics or evolution when nuts with guns might be sitting in the back row?

Why do you think all the tech jobs are going to China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc? Some cultures so revere getting their children educated that they sacrifice all else. You people are so ignorant, short-sighted, narrow-minded. We will bury you.

Representative democracy is so problematic. We the people have chosen to elect people who represent and exploit our fears, and who seek only their own re-election and their own rewards. Instead, we should elect people who will lead us, who will work for the long term good of all of us, who will have access to better information than I have, and who will educate me so that I will understand why they are voting they way they are.
