Published in Long Beach City College's Viking newspaper in 2005.An Assembly Bill would allow full-time students victimized by Hurricane Katrina to enroll at LBCC and other Community Colleges as a resident and be exempt from the $151-per-unit non-resident fee.
The committee on higher education has authored and placed Assembly Bill 1646 on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk.
LBCC administrators are asking students who may have escaped Hurricane Katrina to come forward and identify themselves to receive information on the possible aid and funding for classes. The admissions office is in the A Building on the LAC and Building AA on the PCC.
"So far two students have come forward asking for aid," Ross Miyashiro, dean of Admissions and Records, said. "Now we are just waiting for the governor to approve the bill."
The Long Beach Press-Telegram reported that on Monday, Sept. 26 Rudolf Lampe, 21, an evacuee, wants to enroll at LBCC and study business and computer programming.
In related news, the Muslim Student Association will be organizing a campus fund-raising project. Member of the organization will briefly speak during classes.
