In Washington State, there is a movement in the legislature to begin 
charging tuition for community college ABE/ESL classes. Now colleges cannot 
charge tuition or fees of any kind for these classes, but the proposal is 
that students would pay $5/credit (as opposed to approximately $60/credit 
for "regular" college classes).

My question: how can we use EFF to address this issue as effective 
citzens/community members? Has anyone in another part of the country faced 
something similar? What did you do? Are teachers in Washington using this as 
an instructional issue? How?

Thanks for responses.
Eileen
