Should I challenge my Advisor at EC? My advisor is making me take a UEXCEL course.

This is a huge stretch. In fact in many or most public institutions, students attend for LESS than the cost of their education and the rest is made up with public funds. Even a private institution like Harvard gives a large portion of their student body a free ride or a deep discount due to the huge endowment they've been provided. Yes some schools need to institute cash-cow programs to pay for other programs, but this isn't solely a profit making effort.

True. However, that don't matter because at the end of the day money has to come from somewhere to keep the schools going. No school exist without money flowing through it. I don't understand why people continue to act like schools are not businesses, they are. Whether it's a private or public college or university money is a focus. Students are consumers, while college and university presidents are CEO's.

I'm not sure what Excelsior's intent was and its unfair for some to imply that the school is only doing this for money without getting all the facts. But if it is, it's real cheesy.

This is not a new policy, it has been in place for years. I never said the school was doing it for money, another poster did. I said the policy has been in place for years. So this isn't something that just popped out of no where.
