This college’s repeat, illegal behavior is well known and well-proven in Kansas City.  Yet, leaders at Johnson County Community College continue to go out of their way to be all the more unethical.  Just after being scolded by a federal judge that they illegally expelled four nursing students, JCCC is now spending over $100,000 of the taxapayers’ money to focus on its “image” and “brand.” | Read More »
