Community Colleges as profit centres: Students

Did you know that our students used to be called fu's? (for funding units). Because education is so sacred, I believe that
fu=futxpr
(Or fuck you taxpayer).
We make money by
Accepting your children into our colleges
taking their OSAP
Accepting anyone into our colleges
Accepting their OSAP
Requiring them to buy over=priced textbooks
Taking 20% off at the bookstore, and accepting paybacks (oops, free texts and conferences)
Think about it. You drop out and still owe your OSAP
You've bought your texts.

In economic terms, students are known as "captive" or "inelastic" buyers.
