$10,000 for 20 Emails? Largest Kansas college JCCC sued by national student press group over open records
By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | October 23rd at 10:48 PM |
There should be an Intrade market related to JCCC’s constant legal battles. Well, Converge Magazine lost some credibility these past months. In 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and again in 2011, Converge named Johnson County Community College a “top-rated community colleges for digital technology.” But how can this be, when JCCC leaders want $10,000 for 20 Emails, and when JCCC is claiming it needs to hire an outside data | Read More »

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | March 14th at 02:22 AM |
I’d like to highlight this column by the respected regional editorial news site Kaw and Border, ”Steve’s Rose Colored Glasses Regarding JCCC.” For a brief back-ground.
