After millions of dollars in budget cuts over the last few years, Santa Monica College says that help is on the way -- thanks to a controversial new plan to shore up their budget.
The community college will price units for the most sought-after classes at five times the current cost, effectively allowing rich students to get first dibs on enrollment.
Starting this summer and winter semesters, the college will form a separate nonprofit foundation that will offer core courses at about $600 each, or about $200 per unit, the Associated Press reports.
