What happened: The Board of Trustees nominated Paul Fong for re-election to a trustee position with the Community College League of California last Monday. Also, the Board decided on a per-unit fee of $123 for non-resident students attending FHDA district colleges, and an $8 per-unit capital outlay fee.
Why this matters: The CCLC is a non-profit organization that lobbies Sacramento for the advancement of community college interests. Fong is also running for election to the California State Assembly from District 22. The minimum fee set by the state for non-resident tuition is $120 per unit, with a maximum fee of $38 for capital outlays. “Our district has the lowest rate for international students,” said De Anza Student Trustee Jordan Eldridge.
