An "analog internet" powered by the phone and staffed by "people". What a concept!

Would this be part of the solution to increase how well City College students take advantage of all of the resources offered by the College?
Or, does City College need an ombudsman to represent students in maneuvering through the institution?
Maybe both....
I'm looking forward to working with the new student leadership starting this month, and hope to get their full participation in exploring options.

Hello, I know you don't have a lot of time in your hands, but I would like everyone to know what happened to me.
So, in 2009 I started this graphic design course at CCSF Mission campus. And due to economic issues I had to move out of the city.
I came back to San Francisco in summer 2010, and asked KATE RYAN if I could be in the classes again, and she said yes, I just had to go when they started.
I went, and 3 weeks after being in the classes she told me I couldn't be in the course because I hadn't taken the orientation nor had an interview. So she told me to come back next semester.
I went to the orientation yesterday (12/09/2010) and she herself scheduled an interview for today (12/10/2010). I went to the interview, and after 30 mins of waiting she FIRST tells me that I don't have clerical experience, which I do. I was part of an after-school program where I had to help run it, type grant proposals and answer and make phone calls for about 3 years. Also at my current job I have to answer calls and take messages.
Well, then she forgot about what she had just said and told me she doesn't take "drop-outs". When I asked her why hadn't this been previously stated she answer me "I MAKE THE RULES", I told her that wasn't fair , but she said it was.
It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to notice that she does not want me in the program, which I really need to be in. I'm 21 years old and I've seen a lot of older people in the program who take it as a hobby or something to do while their unemployed. And by the looks she gives me I can tell she doesn't like my kind, which is totally unprofessional.
I JUST WANT THIS TO BE KNOWN. This just happened in 2010, and it's not fair that she's not letting me be in a public program for personal reasons. And that she has also pretty much wasted my whole year this year by giving me false hopes of being in this program, when she could've just told me from the beginning that "she doesn't take drop-outs".
I've seen this happen in 3rd world countries, but never expected to see it in the U.S.
I REALLY hope I have helped stop this from happening again.
