Community Colleges making more friends

Without notice, MCC has dropped their plans for building a downtown campus. It looks like the community college's policy of making decisions without notifying anyone will continue.

Here is the most offensive part:

"(MCC President Shouan Pan) said college officials decided several months ago not to build the downtown campus."

Did they think that other people may want to know? While I do not necessarily think its a bad thing that they "refocus" their efforts on the main campus, it might have behooved them to start some sort of transition process or outreach effort to let people know what was coming.

Look at Councilman Kavanaugh for example, the investment is now coming to his district, yet, he is disappointed about the development of downtown that was depending on the downtown campus. Clearly the Athena project pulling out was a major blow to their plans.
