Is the Middle College Program fair?
Middle College at the Moreno Valley College was started in 1999 as a partnership between Riverside Community College's Moreno Valley Campus in participation with Moreno Valley Unified School District, and Val Verde Unified School District. The program was designed to allow high school aged students to get collegiate classes that were to be credited to their high school diploma and consecutively their associate’s degree. Basically it gave them a head start on a college education while still in high school.
A Costly Dream
About a month ago, California governor Jerry Brown passed a bill that grants illegal immigrants access to privately funded scholarships to attend the state's public colleges and universities.

Snitches Get Stitches
