Oakton CC: Free 7 Credit Web Design Class 4 Vulnerable Populations

[Seagull]

Wait. You were able to register for this? I always thought it was for women and that's the reason I never asked... maybe I should get my wife or sisters and female friends into this if I can't get in... hmm... interesting though...

It's aimed at vulnerable, under-served people who can't afford it otherwise. Not just anyone who wants to get some free credits. I'm a woman, and wouldn't dream of taking a place away from someone who really needs it. That would be like going to a food pantry and stocking up when you can well afford to buy groceries, but hey, it's free, and there's no law against it!! Gimme gimme!! SMDH at some people.

It is the institution job to screen the applicants and determine the need. No one should judge who can or cannot apply. If one feels they need it then they can apply. Why scaring people away from applying? Let them be the judge of their own situation. The problem with this mentality is it scares away the very group who needs it the most as often poor people feel like it is not for them or they are not poor enough or too white or not a woman and they who need it the most do not apply.
