Solano Community College seeks international students to help boost budget - RICHARD BAMMER, Vacaville Reporter

Solano Community College leaders have signed a two-year, $106,000 contract with a consultant to recruit international students from Asia in hopes of bringing in additional revenues to the cash-strapped school even as many local and in-state students struggle to get the classes they need. In a unanimous vote, the SCC board of trustees in September approved an agreement with Naoki Hirota to recruit students primarily from China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam to the Fairfield-based college. International students pay nearly $200 more per unit than local students, SCC Superintendent-President Jowel Laguerre confirmed Wednesday. http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_22062635/solano-community-college-seeks-international-students-help-boost
