one more thing
i've seen no fewer than 4 local media outlets discuss this 'issue.'
i get it, it is nice to be able to go to a 'class' on your parents' tab (with taxpayer subsidy) to 'learn' how to train for a triathlon. but there are far more essential things that the uw budget should protect. like science, math and the arts for instance. the funniest part is that the class doesn't culminate in a 'real' triathlon but one that is staged by the instructor.
i'm all for funding social programs. food and healthcare for the poor - yes. k-12 education - yes! but triathlon training for rich kids for credit? f you.
