Santa Monica College Students Pepper-Sprayed
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A state agency that oversees California’s community colleges asked the attorney general on Wednesday to assess the legality of a school’s plan to charge students more for popular classes.
The move comes the morning after Santa Monica College police pepper-sprayed demonstrators as students angry over the plan tried to push their way into a meeting of the school’s trustees, authorities said.
Officials at the California Community Colleges system chancellor’s office do not believe the plan is allowed under the state’s education law, spokesman Paul Feist said.
Chancellor Jack Scott spoke to Santa Monica College President Chui Tsang, asking that the plan be put on hold but Tsang was non-committal, Feist said.
An email message left with college spokesman Bruce Smith was not immediately returned. The school, however, has said its lawyers concluded that the plan was legal.
The plan involves the formation of a nonprofit foundation that would offer core courses for about $600 each, or about $200 per unit – about four times the current price. The extra courses at the higher rate would help students who were not able to get into popular classes that filled up quickly.
